More recently, the range of hybrid processors has been replenished with another model called “ AMD A4-6300 «. Previously, it could only be found as part of ready-made systems, that is, it was supplied exclusively for OEM assemblers. But literally a month ago, AMD decided to bring the Retail version of this APU to the desktop processor market. According to the A4 index, as well as the average cost of $55, you can guess that the AMD A4-6300 is primarily aimed at low-cost office configurations or entry-level HTPCs.
Considering that the market for budget components in our country is quite in demand, the new product should be a great success.
Packaging, delivery set and standard cooling system
AMD A4-6300 is shipped in a small white box. By this sign, it is easy to determine that there is a processor with a locked multiplier inside. Recall that black colors prevail in the packaging design for models with the “K” index.
In all other respects, the box from AMD A4-6300 has a familiar design. At its ends, two main technologies used in modern hybrid processors from AMD are briefly described: AMD Eyefinity and AMD Dual Graphics. However, for AMD A4-6300, as well as for all models with the «A4» index, the technology of combining the capabilities of the graphics core integrated into the processor and a discrete video card is not available. Given the «office» orientation of such processors, this can hardly be considered a disadvantage.
In the box you can find the user manual, the cooler and the processor itself, packed in a plastic blister for additional protection. There is also a sticker with the AMD Richland APU series logo.
The design of the supplied cooler is quite typical for this class of AMD processors. The standard cooling system consists of a small radiator and a low-profile fan.
The radiator is made entirely of aluminum and consists of four sections of fins extending from a square base. For their blowing, a 70 mm 3.6 W fan is used. Power is supplied through a 4-pin connector with support for monitoring and PWM method for controlling the speed of rotation of its blades.
Interestingly, the «older» model A6-6400K with an unlocked multiplier uses a less powerful fan (2.4 W), while the TDP of both models is the same — 65 W.
To test the effectiveness of the «boxed» cooler, a small experiment was carried out. After raising the fan speed to the maximum value (3350 rpm), we increased the load and measured the CPU heating.
During testing, the ambient temperature was 25°C. As a result, the following results were obtained:
- CPU idle — temperature 31°C;
- 50% load (carried out using the wPrime v.2.00 program) — temperature 40°;
- load 100% (carried out using the AIDA 64 program) — temperature 43°C.
From this experiment, we can conclude that, despite the simplicity of the design, the standard cooling system copes with its task quite well.
Appearance
Externally, the AMD A4-6300 is no different from the previously reviewed solutions from the AMD Richland APU family — AMD A10-6800K, AMD A8-6600K, AMD A6-6400K and AMD A4-4000, except that its marking has changed. This is not surprising, since all of them are compatible with the Socket FM2 processor socket. In addition, the models listed above, including the hero of this review, can be installed on motherboards equipped with a Socket FM2 + connector, which is their great advantage in terms of system updates in the future.
As in the previous cases, the die was grown in Germany, and the final assembly of the AMD A4-6300 was already carried out in China.

3 All AMD+A4-6300 prices
In normal operation (Turbo Core 3.0 technology disabled), the AMD A4-6300 speed is 3700 MHz with a reference frequency of 100 MHz and a multiplier of «x37». At the time of taking the readings, the core voltage was 1.304 V.
If you use the dynamic overclocking mode or just the automatic overclocking function using proprietary Turbo Core 3.0 technology, the multiplier increases by two points to the value «x39». The processor speed increases to 3900 MHz, and the voltage is up to 1.360 V.
In idle mode, the multiplier is reduced to the value «x18», thereby reducing the frequency to 1800 MHz. The voltage is 0.912 V.
Since only one dual-core module is used in the AMD A4-6300, the cache memory is distributed in it similarly to the AMD A6-6400K from the same AMD Richland APU family.
