AMD A4 PRO-3350B with Radeon R4 Graphics vs AMD A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics: Comparison
A4 PRO-3350B with Radeon R4 Graphics vs A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics: the total cores difference
Expect a near tie. The closest thing to a difference is total cores, A4 PRO-3350B with Radeon R4 Graphics 4 against A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics 2. Add l2 cache to that, 2 MB on the A4 PRO-3350B with Radeon R4 Graphics versus 1 MB on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics, and the pattern holds. Add memory channels to that, 1 on the A4 PRO-3350B with Radeon R4 Graphics versus 2 on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics, and the pattern holds. Socket is not the same on both, FT3b on the A4 PRO-3350B with Radeon R4 Graphics versus FP4 on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics. They differ on igpu too, AMD Radeon R4 Graphics on the A4 PRO-3350B with Radeon R4 Graphics versus AMD Radeon R5 Graphics on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics.
Who each one is for
Buy the A4 PRO-3350B with Radeon R4 Graphics for PRO 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. The A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics is the one to take for 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
Everything else lines up. Efficiency cores, tdp, integrated graphics, socket status and product line read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 6 further specifications as well.
