About: Geekbench3 - Single CoreGeekbench 3 – Single Core is part of a popular benchmark testing suite created by Primate Labs that focuses on measuring the single-core performance of a processor. This test is very important because many applications and everyday tasks, including games, browsers, and other lightweight applications, still rely heavily on the speed and efficiency of a single CPU core in completing instructions.
In Single Core mode, Geekbench 3 runs a series of workloads that include data compression, encryption, physics simulation, image processing, and data manipulation, but only uses one core of the tested processor. The results provide an accurate picture of the CPU core's ability to handle general workloads not designed for multi-threading. This is particularly useful for evaluating processor performance in everyday usage scenarios.
Geekbench 3 Single Core scores are an important indicator for comparing processor architecture efficiency, operating frequency, and instructions per clock (IPC) capabilities between different CPU models, whether from the same generation or different ones. A high score indicates that the CPU can complete important tasks faster and more responsively even without utilizing multiple cores.
The advantage of Geekbench 3 lies in its cross-platform approach. This benchmark can be run on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices such as Android and iOS, allowing users to compare performance across devices consistently. This makes Geekbench 3 one of the most flexible and reliable benchmarking tools for measuring modern computing performance.
With a focus on Single Core Performance, Geekbench 3 provides valuable insights for users who rely on optimal performance in lightweight applications or scenarios where response speed is a top priority.
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.
