Verdict

The AMD E2-9000 is an entry-level Stoney Ridge APU released in 2017, featuring 2 CPU cores and 2 threads with a base clock of 1.8 GHz and a turbo boost up to 2.2 GHz. Built on a 28nm process, it includes integrated Radeon R2 graphics (600 MHz), 1MB of L2 cache, and supports single-channel DDR4-1866 memory. Its main strengths are its very low 10W TDP, which allows for fanless designs and high energy efficiency in basic laptops, and its inclusion of a dedicated H.265 video engine. However, its primary cons include extremely limited multitasking performance due to the lack of multithreading, a dated dual-core architecture that struggles with modern applications, and very low memory bandwidth.

What customers like about AMD E2 9000?

  • Extremely budget-friendly entry-level processor for students and basic tasks
  • Highly power-efficient with a low 10W TDP, suitable for thin and light notebooks
  • Supports DDR4 RAM (up to 1866 MHz), which was an improvement over previous generations
  • Capable of running older indie games and basic legacy software
  • Often found in passively cooled, fanless laptops, resulting in silent operation

What customers dislike about AMD E2 9000?

  • Extremely slow performance; users report 10-minute wait times for simple page loads
  • Frequently reaches 100% CPU usage even during basic browsing or office tasks
  • Known to 'hang' or freeze while using standard applications like Microsoft Word
  • Poor multitasking due to having only 2 cores and 2 threads
  • Struggles significantly with Windows 10, often deemed 'unusably slow' by modern standards
  • Upgrading RAM or adding an SSD provides only minimal performance improvements due to the CPU bottleneck
  • Integrated Radeon R2 graphics are insufficient for modern gaming and cause heavy stuttering
