AMD 7th Gen A10-9630P APU vs AMD 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU: Comparison
7th Gen A10-9630P APU vs 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU p-core boost clock compared
P-core boost clock is the dividing line, 7th Gen A10-9630P APU 3.3 GHz against 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU 3.7 GHz. There is a split on p-core base clock as well, 2.6 GHz on the 7th Gen A10-9630P APU versus 3.0 GHz on the 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU. Igpu is not the same on both, AMD Radeon R5 Graphics on the 7th Gen A10-9630P APU versus Radeon R7 on the 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU. They differ on igpu model too, AMD Radeon R5 Graphics on the 7th Gen A10-9630P APU versus AMD Radeon R7 Graphics on the 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU. Igpu compute units is not the same on both, 6 on the 7th Gen A10-9630P APU versus 8 on the 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU. They differ on retail availability too, Soldered Only on the 7th Gen A10-9630P APU versus Tray OEM on the 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU.
Who each one is for
The 7th Gen A10-9630P APU suits A-Series platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is the wrong buy for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds. Buy the 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU for PRO A-Series platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is not built for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and tdp included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 14 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Configurable TDP Floor the same on the 7th Gen A10-9630P APU and 7th Gen AMD PRO A12-9830B APU?
It is. Both are listed at 25 W, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
