Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 1,075 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 1,068 single-thread result adds context for less-parallel work. Compare the nearby alternatives on this page and do not treat one score as a verdict for every application.

Platform and compatibility

It uses socket FM1. A matching socket is only the first check; confirm the official motherboard CPU-support list, BIOS revision and board power limits.

Memory and power

The 65 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.

FAQ

Common processor questions

What are the key AMD A4-3400 APU specifications?

The main recorded details are 2 cores and 2 threads, a 65 W reference TDP, a 1,075 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.

Is the AMD A4-3400 APU good for gaming?

The product name or CPU Mark alone cannot answer that. Check single-thread performance, core count, the target graphics card, gaming resolution and results from the games you play.

Which motherboards support the AMD A4-3400 APU?

Start with FM1 motherboards, then confirm the official CPU-support list and required BIOS revision for the exact board before buying.
