Third-party reviews

What we like about AMD A6 9225

  • Capable of basic web browsing and office tasks with optimization
  • Affordable entry-level option for budget laptops
  • Low power consumption (15W TDP) allows for passively cooled systems
  • Supports modern DDR4-2133 memory
  • Integrated Radeon R4 GPU can handle retro games, indie titles, and simple games like Minecraft at low settings

What we don't like about AMD A6 9225

  • Extremely poor multi-thread performance, comparable to CPUs from 2008
  • Frequently bottlenecks systems, leading to high CPU usage (up to 100%) during 480p/720p video playback
  • Inefficient 28nm manufacturing process results in significant heat generation and frequent fan noise
  • Limited to only 2 cores and 2 threads, which severely restricts modern multitasking
  • Highly unoptimized for Windows 10/11, often requiring extensive debloating or lightweight Linux distros to be usable
  • Single-channel memory controller limits overall system bandwidth

Verdict

The AMD A6-9225 is an entry-level Stoney Ridge (7th Gen) dual-core APU released in 2018 for budget notebooks, featuring two cores and two threads with a base clock of 2.6 GHz and a turbo boost up to 3.0 or 3.1 GHz. Built on a 28nm process with a 15W TDP, it includes integrated Radeon R4 graphics and supports single-channel DDR4-2133 memory. Main pros include its very low power consumption, which allows for fanless, passively cooled designs in ultra-portable laptops, and its basic capability for light office tasks and web browsing. However, major cons include its record-breakingly poor performance compared to modern standards, a lack of multithreading, and low energy efficiency due to its aging architecture.
