The AMD A6-5400K was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in October 2012. It is part of the A6 lineup, using the Trinity architecture with Socket FM2. A6-5400K has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 3.6 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.8 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the A6-5400K on a 32 nm production process using 1,303 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on A6-5400K, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.
With a TDP of 65 W, the A6-5400K consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1866 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, A6-5400K uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor features the Radeon HD 7540D integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the A6-5400K, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
