AMD A10 Micro-6700T

The AMD A10 Micro-6700T is a 4-core, 4-thread mobile APU from AMD’s Jaguar architecture line, under the Mullins codename. It is built on a 28 nm process by GlobalFoundries, integrates a Radeon R4 GPU, and fits AMD Socket FT3. In this database it is listed at the 50th percentile of all CPUs, but the benchmarks array is empty and the average benchmark score is 0, so that percentile is a placeholder rather than a measured performance result.

Who Should Consider It

This is a part for workloads that fit inside a 4-thread, low-power envelope. With a base clock of 1200.00 MHz and a boost clock of 2.20 GHz, the A10 Micro-6700T is oriented toward responsiveness in short bursts rather than sustained heavy processing. The Radeon R4 integrated graphics means you can build a system without adding a separate GPU, which lowers the practical clearance requirements for a small mobile chassis.

For office-style work, the four threads and 2.20 GHz boost are adequate for document editing, email, and other light tasks. The single-channel DDR3 bus with 10.7 GB/s bandwidth is a limiting factor, but it is enough for workloads that do not demand large amounts of memory bandwidth. The 5 W TDP makes it attractive for quiet, low-power machines where fan noise is undesirable.

For creation workloads, the data is not favorable. There are four cores, four threads, and no extra logical threads to draw from. A 1200.00 MHz base clock and 5 W power budget are not the profile of a render machine. The empty benchmark list means there is no measured evidence that this APU can handle video encoding, 3D modelling, or large compilation tasks. The 2 MB shared L2 cache and Radeon R4 GPU are enough for light image work or occasional encoding, but this is not a creation-focused chip.

For gaming, the integrated Radeon R4 exists, but the CPU ceiling of 2.20 GHz and the lack of benchmark scores make it impossible to recommend for modern titles. The most sensible use is a low-power, casual desktop or mobile system where the integrated GPU simply provides display output and older or lightweight games can run without a dedicated graphics card. The A10 Micro-6700T is best considered by builders who value low noise, low power, and small cooling solutions over high frame rates.

Power and Thermals

The defining power figure is a 5 W TDP. That is an extremely low thermal envelope for a CPU with four cores and integrated graphics. It places the A10 Micro-6700T firmly in the passive or low-airflow cooling tier. A small heatsink can handle the heat output; the processor does not require a large tower air cooler or liquid cooling. For fanless designs, a 5 W TDP is exactly the kind of budget that allows a chassis to be sealed or nearly silent.

The large gap between the 1200.00 MHz base clock and the 2.20 GHz boost clock is also a thermal clue. The processor can briefly run at the higher clock when one or two threads need it, but the long-term all-core operation will be constrained by that 5 W budget. Sustained multi-threaded loads will therefore settle closer to the base clock than to the boost clock. The practical consequence is that thermals are not a problem for any reasonable cooling solution, but the power budget is a performance ceiling.

Platform and Compatibility

The A10 Micro-6700T sits on AMD Socket FT3, a mobile socket tied to the Mullins generation. It supports DDR3 memory only, on a single-channel bus, with 10.7 GB/s of peak memory bandwidth. ECC memory is not supported, so this platform is not appropriate for error-correcting memory workloads. The integrated Radeon R4 provides the graphics output, and the PCIe support is Gen 2, which limits expansion bandwidth compared to newer generations.

The die contains 930 million transistors on a 107 mm² area, and the processor was built on a 28 nm GlobalFoundries process. The cache arrangement is small: 64 KB L1 per core and a shared 2 MB L2 cache. There is no L3 cache listed, so the memory hierarchy relies on that shared L2 plus the single-channel DDR3 connection.

Because the production status is end-of-life and the release date is 2014-04-28, this is not a platform with a forward upgrade path. Socket FT3 is effectively a closed ecosystem. If you build around this APU, you are committing to this specific processor and its Radeon R4 graphics; there is no newer drop-in chip to move to later. The practical advice is to treat the A10 Micro-6700T as a fixed-spec low-power mobile platform rather than the start of an upgradable build.

How It Compares

The database lists no nearestRivals entries for the A10 Micro-6700T. There are no named rival CPUs, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values in the fact pack. As a result, a direct competitor comparison cannot be made from the supplied data. The only comparative signal is the percentileVsAllCpus value of 50, which places the APU at the median position among all CPUs in the database.

That median position, however, is not supported by actual test results. The average benchmark score is 0, and the benchmarks array is empty. A 0 score is not a real output; it is a missing-data placeholder. Therefore the 50th percentile should not be read as evidence that this chip beats half of all CPUs. It is simply the midpoint in a list that has no measured data for this product.

In practical terms, the A10 Micro-6700T must be compared by its specifications rather than its benchmark results. It has four cores, four threads, a 1200.00 MHz base clock, a 2.20 GHz boost clock, and a 5 W TDP. That combination is unique enough that any other comparison would have to come from outside the supplied data, which these pages cannot do.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The single-thread and multi-thread behavior of this APU is shaped by the wide distance between its clocks. At rest, the base clock is 1200.00 MHz; when boosting, it can reach 2.20 GHz. That is a significant range, and it means the processor is tuned to run at a low speed most of the time and only raise the clock when a workload demands it.

For single-thread and lightly threaded tasks, the 2.20 GHz boost clock is the relevant number. Booting the operating system, opening applications, and responding to input are activities that benefit from a higher clock on one or two cores. This APU can burst upward for those moments, which makes it feel more responsive than a flat 1200.00 MHz chip would.

For multi-threaded workloads, the picture changes. There are exactly four threads for four cores, so there are no extra hardware threads to hide latency or increase parallel throughput. A fully threaded task will use all four cores, and all four will share the same 5 W power budget. Under that condition, clocks will settle much closer to the 1200.00 MHz base clock. The 2 MB shared L2 cache helps core-to-core data sharing, but the single-channel DDR3 bus at 10.7 GB/s will be a bottleneck for memory-heavy parallel work.

The practical implication is straightforward: keep single-threaded tasks on the boost clock, and avoid workloads that require sustained all-core performance. The A10 Micro-6700T is a burst-oriented processor, not a throughput-oriented one.
