APU A6-4400M Dual Core Review

Fusion A6-4400M Dual Core is a Mobile CPU with 2 Cores and Threads and part of the APUs family released by AMD in 2010/2012.
It's based on the Piledriver architecture and each core is clocked at 2.7GHz and can go to up to 3.2GHz.
It features integrated graphics called Radeon HD 7520G that offer light gaming performance.
The performance falls behind most Intel i5 Sandy and Ivy Bridge and might not be sufficient enough for intensive CPU game/tasks.

I just recently noticed a change in the comparison on the AMD vs Duo Core CPU's. Like certain intel core 2 duos and i3 intels. The only difference I saw between the 2 is that AMD A6-4400M has lower cache, but it makes up for it in core speed. Example, Core I3-3110M 2.4Ghz vs. A6-4400M 3.2Ghz.

Its true :D I think it stems from a the large amount of CPUs that we have on the site, thus as you get closer to the high or low end of the spectrum, the differences between things seem larger than normal. To me, yours is 7% worse by the way.
