The AMD A6-9220 SoC was a mobile processor with 2 cores, launched in April 2017. It is part of the A6 lineup, using the Stoney Ridge architecture with Socket FT4. A6-9220 SoC has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 2.5 GHz by default, but can boost up to 2.9 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is making the A6-9220 SoC on a 28 nm production node using 1,200 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. The multiplier is locked on A6-9220 SoC, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 15 W, the A6-9220 SoC consumes very little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with a single-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2133 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the system, A6-9220 SoC uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon R4 3CU integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the A6-9220 SoC, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
