About Hardware AMD A6-3400M
Released in mid-2011, the AMD A6-3400M is a mobile processor from the Llano family designed for the mid-range laptop segment. It has 4 cores and 4 threads with a base speed of 1.4 GHz that can increase to 2.3 GHz thanks to AMD's Turbo Core technology. Carrying a 32nm fabrication process, the A6-3400M offers good power efficiency with a TDP of 35W, making it a popular choice among conventional laptop users at the time. The main advantage of this processor lies not only in having enough cores for light multitasking, but also in the integration of an onboard GPU, the AMD Radeon HD 6520G. This GPU has 320 shader cores based on the Terascale 2 architecture, which is capable enough to run light graphics applications to older games with low resolution and graphics quality settings. The combination of CPU and GPU in one chip is designed to provide a balance between computing and graphics performance in one energy-efficient package.
In terms of performance, the A6-3400M can handle everyday computing needs such as browsing the internet, watching videos, listening to music, typing documents, and other light productivity tasks. However, in heavier usage scenarios or multitasking with many applications open at once, its performance starts to show limitations, especially when combined with a small RAM capacity such as 2GB. When compared to the same generation of Intel Core i3 processors, the A6-3400M does lag behind in single-thread performance, which is an important aspect for running modern applications that are not fully optimized for multi-core. In tests on a Lenovo Sabine B475 device with 2GB DDR3 RAM and Windows 7 operating system, the A6-3400M's performance showed that it is still quite responsive for light use, although it is no longer ideal for today's heavier workloads. Even so, the A6-3400M is still an attractive option for users who want a budget laptop with basic multimedia capabilities and a decent user experience for everyday needs.
Hardware Tested:
Device: Lenovo Sabine B475
RAM: 2GB DDR3
OS: Windows 7

About Hardware AMD C-60
Released in 2011, the AMD C-60 is a power-efficient processor from the Ontario series built on the Bobcat architecture. It has 2 cores and 2 threads, with a base speed of 1.0 GHz that can be increased to 1.33 GHz through Turbo Core technology. Designed specifically for portable devices such as netbooks and ultraportable laptops, the C-60 is focused on power efficiency and long battery life rather than high performance. With a TDP of just 9 watts, this processor enables ultra-thin and lightweight laptop designs without the need for complex active cooling systems. The main advantage of the C-60 is its extremely low power consumption, making it an attractive solution for users who need a lightweight computing device for daily activities with high mobility.
The AMD C-60 is also equipped with an integrated Radeon HD 6290 GPU, which has 80 shader cores and supports DirectX 11. Despite its modest specifications, this GPU is sufficient for multimedia purposes such as HD video playback, light graphics rendering, and old-school games with minimal graphics settings. However, overall, the performance of the AMD C-60 is limited and only suitable for light tasks such as browsing, typing documents, and using basic office applications. This processor will feel slow when used for heavy multitasking, modern software installation, or complex web-based applications. In tests using an Acer Aspire One 522 paired with 2GB DDR3 RAM and Windows 7 operating system, the processor was able to provide a decent user experience for basic needs, but was less responsive when compared to mainstream processors of the same generation. Even so, the AMD C-60 remains a viable solution for low-cost, power-efficient devices of its time.
