AMD® Athlon™ X4 860K

The AMD Athlon X4 860K is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads. It launched in Aug 2014. Clocks run from 3.7 GHz base to 4.0 GHz boost. It supports DDR3 memory. It uses the FM2+ socket. Rated TDP is 95 W.

The AMD Athlon X4 860K scores 1,512 in single-core performance and 3,412 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,271 for overall performance, 4,335 for productivity performance, 4,598 for creator performance, 3,284 for engineering performance and 5,389 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 853 per core, 853 per thread and 36 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 233. Its performance index is 28, so its overall performance is 72% 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 Athlon X4 860K scores 19,742 in integer math, 5,548 in floating-point math, 57,525 in compression, 960 in cryptography, 240 in physics simulation, 2,121 in vector SIMD, 13 in the prime sieve and 6,466 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 66% below in integer math, 88% below in floating-point math, 75% below in compression, 92% below in cryptography, 78% below in physics simulation, 86% below in vector SIMD, 81% below in the prime sieve and 71% 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 Athlon X4 860K 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 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.00 GHz.

The AMD Athlon X4 860K is a desktop processor and belongs to the AMD Athlon family. It launched in Aug 2014.

The AMD Athlon X4 860K has 256 KB of L1 cache and 4 MB of L2 cache. That adds up to about 4.3 MB of cache, or 1.06 MB per core.

The AMD Athlon X4 860K has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB and L2 at 4 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 94% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Athlon X4 860K supports DDR3 memory and runs memory at up to 2,133 MT/s. It does not support DDR5, DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD Athlon X4 860K uses the FM2+ socket.

The AMD Athlon X4 860K has a rated TDP of 95 W.
