AMD A6-7400K, Core 2, 3.5 GHz (Kaveri), Radeon R5 - boxed [AD740KYBJABOX]

The AMD A6-7400K belongs to the middle-class models of the latest generation APU named Kaveri. He takes up 1 MB L2 cache back and used it for the processor-Part one of the improved Steamroller modules (total of 2 CPU cores) that are characterized by an increased per-clock performance and extensive feature range, such as AES encryption, AMD-V virtualization technology or SSE and AVX instruction set extensions. The fabricated chip in 28 nm clocked into the basic level with 3500 MHz and can increase via Turbo Core 3.0 under load and the timing of individual cores up to 3,900 MHz. Since it is a Black Edition, also the easy overclocking via the unlocked multiplier is possible, although this would involve the loss of the warranty.

According to the modern architecture of the CPU graphics chip, the silicon contains a total of five whole computational units, divided into the two mentioned 64-bit CPU cores (1 module) and four "compute units" of the graphics unit (256 shaders) with 756 MHz clock. The greater part of the vehicle combination Graphic collected almost half of the total chip area and has the strongest growth compared to its predecessor. He comes here, therefore, in the form of an integrated Radeon the R5-series. The architecture is based is called GCN (Graphics Core Next) and is used both in the dedicated Radeon graphics cards, the HD-7000 and R-series, and in the latest game consoles Xbox and Playstation 4 One application.

In addition, the APU combines other important functions in it, which were formerly separately vorfand in the chipset on the motherboard, such as the memory controller with a native support for DDR3 memory up to 1866MHz clock. This AMD now uses a heterogeneous system architecture, whereby graphics and processor cores work together more intensively. A feature of this technology is the new memory management called Huma, which helps to provide a common access to the memory of the PC, which can be used equally by both parties. Both functional units can thus always share their information with each other and operate independently.

Overall, this symbiotic chip thus offers all-round performance computing for frugal claims - and all without a dedicated graphics card! With its maximum TDP of only 65 watts, it thus enables multimedia PCs in miniature and is ideal for use in ITX Cube or enclosures. Other highlights are as support for multi-monitor mode or Eyefinity including Ultra-HD resolutions (4K). In addition, the integrated Universal Video Decoder (UVD) plays all imaginable forms of HD video material from liquid, so without burdening the CPU.

AMD's revolutionary interface for hardware 3D calculations called Mantle relieves the processor of the APU and obsolete due to direct access to the graphics unit the maximum from the Radeon graphics part with Graphics Core Next architecture out.

This Boxed version of the processor include a suitable CPU cooler from AMD included.

Note: Use a Kaveri APU a FM2 + -Mainboard is mandatory
