The AMD A6-7470K was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in February 2016. It is part of the A6 lineup, using the Godaveri architecture with Socket FM2+. A6-7470K has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 3.7 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is making the A6-7470K on a 28 nm production node using 2,411 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. The multiplier is locked on A6-7470K, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 65 W, the A6-7470K consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1866 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the computer, A6-7470K uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon R5 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the A6-7470K, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
