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 Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G

Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G is a mid-range processor designed to deliver efficient performance with low power consumption. Built using a 6nm fabrication process, this chipset is able to provide an ideal blend of speed, power efficiency, and stability, which is perfect for smartphones and tablets in the entry-level to mid-range class.

Snapdragon 680 carries an octa-core CPU configuration, consisting of 4x Kryo 265 Gold (Cortex-A73 based) and 4x Kryo 265 Silver (Cortex-A53 based), providing a smooth multitasking experience and good enough performance for light to medium gaming. In terms of graphics, the chipset is powered by the Adreno 610 GPU, which is capable of handling multimedia needs such as high-resolution videos and casual games quite well.

In terms of connectivity, the Snapdragon 680 supports 4G LTE networks and includes Qualcomm AI Engine, which helps improve camera processing, voice recognition, as well as power management efficiency. Not to forget, the presence of Qualcomm Spectra 346 Triple ISP enables better image processing, including camera performance in low-light conditions and multi-camera configurations.

The test was conducted using a Samsung Galaxy A05s device, powered by Snapdragon 680, with a configuration of 6GB RAM, 128GB UFS storage, and Android 13 operating system with One UI 5.1. The test was conducted under new device conditions, using default settings, and an ambient room temperature of 30°C based on the DHT11 sensor.

The results of CPU performance testing on the Snapdragon 680 chipset show quite good numbers in the mid-range. Through AnTuTu Benchmark version 10, the CPU score obtained reached 105,662 points, while in the previous version, AnTuTu Benchmark v9, the score was recorded at 82,391 points. Testing with Geekbench 6 also gave a balanced performance picture, with 415 points for single-core and 1,424 points for multi-core. These scores show that the Snapdragon 680 is capable of providing a smooth usage experience for everyday needs such as multitasking, browsing, and running popular apps efficiently.

These results show that the Snapdragon 680 is a solid choice for users who want stable and efficient performance on a mid-range Android device, whether for daily use, content consumption, or light gaming.
