A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics vs A6-9220e: the p-core boost clock difference
The first real difference is p-core boost clock: A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics 3.0 GHz against A6-9220e 2.4 GHz. There is a split on tdp as well, 15 W on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics versus 6 W on the A6-9220e. There is a split on socket as well, FP4 on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics versus BGA on the A6-9220e. Release year is not the same on both, 2016 on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics versus 2017 on the A6-9220e. Igpu is not the same on both, AMD Radeon R5 Graphics on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics versus AMD Radeon R4 Graphics on the A6-9220e. They differ on base power too, 15 W on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics versus 6 W on the A6-9220e. They differ on igpu model too, AMD Radeon R5 Graphics on the A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics versus AMD Radeon R4 Graphics on the A6-9220e.
Which should you buy, A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics or A6-9220e?
The A6-8500P with Radeon R5 Graphics suits A-Series platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is not the pick for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds. Buy the A6-9220e for the most basic computing tasks on the tightest possible budget, though it is the wrong buy for any productivity, multitasking, or general computing beyond the absolute basics.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and p-core base clock read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 9 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
