Anyone with AMD A6-6310 APU willing to make a test?

RejZoR · Mar 27, 2017

I'd need some info regarding devices with AMD A6-6310 APU, specifically:

- CPU-Z Benchmark (single and multithreaded)
- Cinebench (single and multithreaded)
- Peacekeeper browser benchmark (done in latest Firefox)
- Youtube playback in latest Firefox (how good it runs 720p and 1080p at 60fps, does it lag or is it perfectly smooth?

I'm looking for some really cheap laptop and I got Intel N3060 and A6 6310 CPU. AMD is tempting because it's quad core, but I have no idea how it behaves since it does have slower clock and is also a bit older. N3060 does struggle a bit with 1080p60 so I wonder how A6-6310 works. I've benched Intel N3060 using above things, but I'd need something to compare it to...

Thx

Have you looked up reviews?

That's a big ask. Much better to just Google for reviews.

Thx, I've been on this page and I totally missed Cinebench score. Would be nice if I could get CPU-Z as well.

And of course, the subjective Youtube smoothness test. No benchmark tells me that and Youtube is the primary thing that will be used on this laptop.

Ok, I think I'll go with something else. I found another laptop with AMD A8-7410 APU that has Radeon R5 graphics, 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD.
It's a proper quad core, 2.2 GHz base clock, turbo goes to 2.5 GHz, has R5 graphics, if this can't play damn Youtube and Netflix smoothly, then I don't know what will. And it costs LESS than the one with crappy dual core N3060.

I have this machine laying around, it has the A6-5200 in it. 2Ghz quad core with a HD8400. I can try it out later today. I don't have Netflix though.

EDIT: Or a HDMI cable to hook it up to my monitor. Bah.

cant remember if it was you or someone else talking about APU's but in case it wasn't you - try edge in windows 10. somehow its got better hardware acceleration and youtube/netflix etc videos run a ton better on low end hardware.

RejZoR · Mar 28, 2017

Yeah, I've said that. Windows 10 apps have better HW acceleration for some reason, but not Firefox. But I just got annoyed by it to such degree I'm just gonna sell the thing and take another cheap laptop. This one is GCN based and R5 is second best option so it should be supported for a while. Considering it has Crimson drivers now and powered by GCN...

EDIT:
And I've just remembered my old one has 8GB RAM because I bought extra 4GB. Which I think I'll be able to transplant to this one since they are both DDR3L and I think it's also 1600MHz. Should work if case isn't too hard to open...
