AMD® A8-4500M APU

The AMD A8-4500M APU is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads. It launched in May 2012. Clocks run from 1.9 GHz base to 2.8 GHz boost. It uses the FS1R2 socket. Rated TDP is 35 W.

The AMD A8-4500M APU scores 921 in single-core performance and 1,700 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,251 for overall performance, 2,394 for productivity performance, 2,593 for creator performance, 1,636 for engineering performance and 3,188 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 425 per core, 425 per thread and 49 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 212. Its performance index is 16, so its overall performance is 84% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD A8-4500M APU scores 11,004 in integer math, 3,011 in floating-point math, 27,117 in compression, 505 in cryptography, 194 in physics simulation, 688 in vector SIMD, 9 in the prime sieve and 3,479 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 81% below in integer math, 93% below in floating-point math, 88% below in compression, 96% below in cryptography, 82% below in physics simulation, 96% below in vector SIMD, 87% below in the prime sieve and 85% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD A8-4500M APU has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 1.90 GHz and boosts up to 2.80 GHz.

The AMD A8-4500M APU is a laptop processor and belongs to the AMD AMD family. It launched in May 2012.

The AMD A8-4500M APU has 192 KB of L1 cache and 4 MB of L2 cache. That adds up to about 4.2 MB of cache, or 1.05 MB per core.

The AMD A8-4500M APU has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 192 KB and L2 at 4 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 96% of the cache listed here.
