AMD A10-6700T

The AMD A10-6700T is a desktop processor carrying four cores and four threads, with a Piledriver architecture and the Richland codename. The generation label in the record is A10 (Richland), and the series field is null. GlobalFoundries is named as the foundry; the process node is 32 nm, the transistor count is 1,303 million, and the die size is 246 mm². Clock data lists a base clock of 2.50 and a boost clock of 3.50. The TDP is 45 W. The release timestamp is 2013-09-15T17:00:00.000Z, and production status is End-of-life. The market segment is Desktop. The benchmark list is empty, the average benchmark score is 0, and the nearest-rival list is empty, so this record is a specification-and-position record rather than a measured-performance record.

Platform and Compatibility

AMD Socket FM2 is the socket in the record, which defines the physical platform compatibility. Memory support is DDR3. The memory bus is dual-channel, and the listed memory bandwidth is 29.9 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported, so the platform does not carry the ECC tag in the data. The PCIe specification is Gen 2; no lane count is stored, so expansion bandwidth is only described at that generation level. The integrated graphics block is Radeon HD 8650D, which is listed as part of this processor record. The multiplier is not unlocked, indicating a locked-multiplier part. The part-number field supplies AD670TYHHLBOX and AD670TYHA44HL. Because the socket is FM2 and the production status is End-of-life, the upgrade path for this processor is constrained to the installed FM2 infrastructure; no other socket is listed. The generation information labels the part as A10 (Richland), and the series field is empty, so the product family context comes from the A10 label and the Richland codename.

The platform data is therefore coherent around a mid-2010s AMD desktop build: DDR3 memory, a dual-channel memory controller, PCIe Gen 2, and an integrated Radeon HD 8650D on the same processor record. The absence of ECC support means the intended use case is mainstream desktop rather than error-correcting server memory. The lack of an unlocked multiplier means the part does not offer the unlocked-multiplier path found elsewhere in the desktop market, although no comparison processors are named in this record. The two part-number strings in the data identify the A10-6700T in the record, and the A10 generation label defines its position within the Richland family.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The core and thread counts are equal: four cores and four threads, so each core has one thread available in the data. There are no extra logical threads beyond the four listed; a workload can address four hardware threads. The clock range is defined by 2.50 base and 3.50 boost. A single-threaded workload has a core that can reach the 3.50 boost value, while the 2.50 base value is the lower clock point in the specified range. Multi-threaded workloads have four physical cores to use, but no multi-thread benchmark score is included in the record, so scaling behavior is not quantified.

The cache hierarchy is 192 KB of L1 and 4 MB of L2; the L3 field is null, meaning no L3 cache is populated in this record. The memory controller supports DDR3 in dual-channel mode with a bandwidth figure of 29.9 GB/s. For a workload whose data fits within the 4 MB L2, the cache can hold that working set; for a larger working set, the memory path is the next level. The integrated Radeon HD 8650D appears in the same record, and the 29.9 GB/s memory bandwidth figure is the platform memory bandwidth in that record.

This split matters for workload expectations. A program dominated by a single thread cannot use the other three cores; for that workload, the 3.50 boost clock is the relevant ceiling. A program that spreads work across threads has four hardware threads to occupy, but the data does not include a multi-thread score, so the net benefit of the four core/thread configuration must be inferred only from the equal core and thread counts. The absence of an L3 also means the 4 MB L2 is the largest cache data point available, and the DDR3 dual-channel path at 29.9 GB/s is the memory boundary.

Power and Thermals

The TDP figure is 45 W, which places the A10-6700T in a low-power class among desktop CPUs in this database. The manufacturing details are 32 nm at GlobalFoundries, 1,303 million transistors, and a 246 mm² die. Those structural values together with the 45 W TDP are the only power and thermal numbers in the record; there is no measured thermal or power score. A 45 W envelope implies a modest cooling requirement for a desktop platform, though no cooler specification is present in the fact pack. The multiplier is not unlocked, so the processor is not presented as a user-overclockable part; its thermal profile is tied to the stock 2.50-to-3.50 clock range. End-of-life status completes the lifecycle data.

The 45 W TDP is the single most important thermal classification in the record. It means the part belongs to a conservative power tier relative to desktop parts in general, although rival power figures are not listed. The 32 nm process, 246 mm² die, and 1,303 million transistor count provide the silicon-level context: the thermal load is produced by that specific process and die combination. Because no thermal benchmark results are stored, the record does not show temperatures under load, cooler behavior, or sustained clock thermal limits. The locked multiplier reinforces that no external multiplier adjustment is expected for this part, and the cooling tier should be sized for the stock clock range.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals array is empty, so there are no named comparison processors in the dataset. There are no rival scores, no rival names, and no deltaPct values in this record. A per-rival comparison cannot be supplied because no rival entries exist. The only positional value in the database is percentileVsAllCpus, which is 50. That places the processor at the midpoint of all CPUs in the database. In practical terms, the record provides no direct evidence of being ahead of or behind any specific CPU; the percentile is a broad distributional anchor rather than a head-to-head comparison. Since the comparison table is empty, no paragraph per nearest rival can be written.

This absence of rival data is itself important for interpreting the page. Without nearestRivals, there is no externally anchored ranking to confirm the A10-6700T’s placement against similarly positioned parts. The 50th percentile is the only comparative value available, and it can be reported only as the midpoint of the database distribution. No rival-specific inference can be made from the record, because no such entries are present.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmarks array is empty, which means no workload-level scores are recorded for this processor. The avgBenchmarkScore field is 0, and with no benchmark entries this zero is an empty data marker, not a measured zero-performance result. No exact score deltas can be computed from an empty benchmarks array and an empty nearestRivals array. The available numerical ranking field is percentileVsAllCpus, set to 50, which places the part at the 50th percentile relative to all CPUs in the database. This percentile is a comparative position, but it is not a benchmark score.

The only performance context left to analyze is the architectural specification: four cores, four threads, 2.50 base, 3.50 boost, 192 KB L1, 4 MB L2, no L3, DDR3 dual-channel at 29.9 GB/s, and integrated Radeon HD 8650D graphics. Threaded workloads have four hardware threads to fill; single-threaded workloads can rely on the 3.50 boost clock. Cache-sensitive data can use the 4 MB L2, while larger footprints are subject to the 29.9 GB/s memory path. Without benchmark scores, workload-specific rankings cannot be established, and all conclusions remain at the specification level.
