Verdict

The AMD A6-7480 is a budget-oriented dual-core desktop APU from the Carrizo architecture, designed for the Socket FM2+ platform. It features 2 cores and 2 threads with a base clock frequency of 3.5 GHz and a maximum boost clock of 3.8 GHz, supported by 1 MB of L2 cache and a 65W TDP. Main characteristics include integrated Radeon R5 graphics with 8 compute cores (2 CPU + 6 GPU), a 28nm manufacturing process, and support for dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 2133 MT/s. Its primary pros are its cost-effectiveness for basic office tasks, inclusion of a stock cooler, and integrated graphics capable of handling 720p HD video and light e-sports titles. However, notable cons include its outdated architecture that lacks a path to modern DDR4 or DDR5 memory, a locked multiplier that prevents overclocking, and significantly poor multitasking performance compared to newer Ryzen-based alternatives.
