AMD-3500 A6 - Llano Special Triple Core

With prices below the range of 1 million rupiah, the processor (or more appropriately called APU) AMD Llano A6-3500 certainly attracted the attention of all those who want to build a cheap PC. Then, how the performance of triple-core APU itself?

Three Core + Turbo

There are many interesting things from this unique AMD APU. A6-3500 is the APU which has 3 cores processor. This is a unique configuration, because a lot of modern game developers who suggested a minimum of 3 core specification (for AMD processors) so that games can run smoothly. A6-3500 AMD obviously qualify this.

From the GPU is used, the APU is wearing the same type and speed of the A6-3850 the price is higher. This makes it theoretically could deliver gaming performance that is not much different than the "brother" was.

Has a 65W TDP only, making it more friendly to the APU PSU. In addition, to maintain the performance of the base rate of only 2.1 GHz, A6-3500 is equipped with a turbo feature. This makes it capable of working at a maximum speed of 2.4 GHz. Indeed, the speed is still below the speed turbonya A6-3650 standard (2.6 GHz), but not too much different. In addition, in the idle condition, the power consumption can be saved even lower.
