The AMD A6-3670K was a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in December 2011. It is part of the A6 lineup, using the Llano architecture with Socket FM1. A6-3670K has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and operates at 2.7 GHz. AMD is building the A6-3670K on a 32 nm production process using 1,178 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on A6-3670K, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency. With a TDP of 100 W, the A6-3670K consumes a good deal of power, so decent cooling is needed. 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, A6-3670K uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor features the Radeon HD 6530D integrated graphics solution. Hardware virtualization is available on the A6-3670K, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
