The AMD A6-3620 is a quad-core accelerated processing unit (APU) designed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). It was released in 2012 as part of AMD's A-Series APUs, which combined central processing unit (CPU) cores with integrated Radeon graphics processing units (GPUs).
The A6-3620 features four CPU cores clocked at 2.2 GHz, and it also includes Radeon HD 6530D integrated graphics. The APU's architecture was based on the Llano microarchitecture, featuring a 32nm manufacturing process. This architecture aimed to offer a balance between CPU and GPU performance, targeting budget-conscious users looking for reasonable computing and graphics capabilities in a single package.
The integrated graphics, while not suitable for high-end gaming, allowed for smooth video playback, light gaming, and everyday computing tasks. This integration was especially useful for systems without dedicated graphics cards, reducing costs and power consumption.
The A6-3620 was compatible with FM1 socket motherboards and supported DDR3 memory. The A-Series APUs introduced at the time showcased AMD's strategy of combining CPU and GPU capabilities, laying the foundation for their later APU releases.
