The AMD A6-1450 was a mobile processor with 4 cores, launched in May 2013. It is part of the A6 lineup, using the Temash architecture with Socket FT3. A6-1450 has 2 MB of L2 cache and operates at 1000 MHz by default, but can boost up to 1400 MHz, depending on the workload. AMD is making the A6-1450 on a 28 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. The multiplier is locked on A6-1450, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 8 W, the A6-1450 consumes extremely little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a single-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1066 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the computer, A6-1450 uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor features the Radeon HD 8250 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the A6-1450, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
