r/Amd on Reddit: AMD A6-9225 - what is this shit?
December 24, 2020 -

My boss bought a laptop with AMD A6-9225 CPU, to paraphrase the famous Bob Dylan review, what is this shit? It is unbelievably slow, fucking unusable, for example, it takes 20-30 seconds to load Gmail and it lags now when I write this message.

I cannot believe AMD release this shit in 2018, my 8 years old laptop with i3 feels like i9 desktop CPU compared to this shit.

What is the point of the AMD A6-9500
Managed to slip in with an X470 motherboard? Because no other A6 compatible motherboard will take a 5000-series Ryzen. Curious why one would purchase a 2016 cpu with a high end motherboard in 2021, dual core at that, and expect it to be more than a web browser / email / word processing cpu? More on reddit.com

My computer sucks, will it still be able to run Rimworld?

Other than the RAM, you've got a better machine than I have and I can run it.

AMD A6 bottlenecking?

Since you already have discrete graphics you should go with the Athlon x4 860k. It should be around $70 and will be more powerful than the A6 or A8.

[Build Help] So reddit, whats your opinion about A6-5200 if i only need it for college?
I think you're better off with something in the Haswell family for a laptop with a slight gaming use. The newer HD gfx are pretty good and you get some nice power in there as well for the versatility. Those Haswell's also have some pretty great benefits on battery life. According to this , the gfx in the A6 match the 6490M graphics. Meaning that you can expect this for gaming. Compare that to the Haswell gfx. It seems like the AMD gfx are a little better than the Haswell's but it's a tradeoff for CPU power. More on reddit.com

Answer (1 of 2): No. AMD A series APUs are fairly old designs derived from AMD's Bulldozer architecture from 2011-2012. Those APUs are fabbed on an old planar 28nm process and are significantly weaker than the weakest AMD Ryzen mobile APUs like the Ryzen 2 2200U. They are only used in cheap und...

r/computers on Reddit: What is the point of the AMD A6-9500
December 9, 2023 -

Ryzen 3 and better should be the only AMD CPUs that are given the right to exist, the A6-9500 should never have been born because of it's sheer pointlessness. It is worthless because it fails to not lag when gaming, multitasking, and for all the other stuff I do with my computer. More recently, the damn thing can't even go a week without restarting the computer out of nowhere or coughing up a BSOD that doesn't even tell me what in the hell happened (istg it's the cpu)

No, my 16 GB of RAM, SSD, or GTX 1650 are not the problems. The CPU in my computer is truly what lags behind every other part in my system.

maybe im exaggerating a bit because i've just been so sick of it for the past 3 years idk. thank god i can get me a ryzen 5 5600 for christmas, and GOOD RIDDANCE.

and to be fair, i have not changed the thermal paste and have been using the stock cooler ever since i got the computer in 2021. this piece of shit is on it's way out anyway and will probably be incinerated by me the very second that ryzen 5 5600 goes into the cpu socket of my computer
