AMD A8-7410 Lower-Mid-Range Laptop CPU

The AMD A8-7410, just like its 6410 precursor, is a lower-mid range notebook processor. Both chips deliver very similar performance, with the A8-7410 being only a tad faster. In the real world use, it means smooth operation during day-to-day home and office tasks, but for heavier stuff like multimedia production, recommended are faster chips like the AMD A10 or Intel’s Core i5 and i7 series, especially quad-core i7. True, the A8-7410 also has four cores, but performance-wise it is comparable to the more popular dual-core Intel Core i3 series. Just like the majority of mainstream laptop CPUs, the A8-7410 consumes 15 Watts of power.

AMD A8-7410 Benchmark

The A8 processor has the Radeon R5 integrated graphics, with similar performance to the Intel HD 5500 / 520 series found in the current Intel Core chips. This means it can run decently smooth light and casual games like League of Legends and Minecraft, but also some more demanding titles on the lowest graphics settings.

As one of it greatest benefits, the A8-7410 is a budget-friendly chip. You can usually find it in sub-$500 mainstream notebooks.

Note: The benchmark scores of the listed processors are averages measured across various devices with these processors. The scores and real-world performance of the AMD A8-7410 and compared CPUs may vary depending on the notebooks' other components, settings, cooling, and other factors. However, the benchmark results are good indicators of the processors' performance.

    • Dan

      Hi, the processor in that laptop and most of other laptops isn’t upgradeable.

    ———Currently using: A8-7410 with Radeon R5 M330———
    This CPU is good for daily light weight task like watching videos(not above 1080p), browsing, MS office, photo editing(not heavy). 2 problem I found till date my OEM didn’t made a good PCB when GPU crosses 90% utilization the whole system get turn off and GPU diode reach more than 120°C all coz of bad thermal designing and the 2nd problem in I’m stuck to 2017 graphic driver when ever I try to upgrade I see mouse cursor freezing problem

    using HPslimline DT but same MB as laptop. diagnostics even reads it as a laptop. AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics 2.20 GHz. it does have a 2nd ram slot thatll hold another 8gb ram ddr3 . So 16 gb ram isnt bad but thats the end of the upgrading except for putting in an SSD but once spent ur getting close to just buying a better product. I manage to game w/sata 3 HD 8gb ram and e.thing geared for the game even then the FPS are at best 30, usually less. its not a gamer!

  4. Question

    Gopal

    Amd a9 9420 or amd a8 7410

    • A

      If You Prefer Fast Computing , A9 Will be Better
      For Stability A8 is Better

  5. Nazirah

    Iam also use hp notebook AMD A8-7410 for engineering design and its work smooth (already use for 5 years).

    • Moniqa

      which windows you have on your laptop? my one is deadly slow, it has pre installed win 10 but I’m thinking to change to win 8.. is that gonna speed up the laptop you think?

    • Ankit

      Put a SSD and it can run windows smoothly.

  6. naol getnet

    which is better mine AMD QUAD A8 or intel core i5

    • Fahad shaikh

    it is better than i5 , iam using hp notebook 15 ,its work smoth, i can play gta 5 , wd 2, cod 1,2,3,4, with this processor. and im use this pro. for video editing and 3d modeling so its best pro. for mid range .

    • LarbiDH

      the one i have :A8-7410 with Radeon™ R5 Graphics and my game can barely run even mc

  8. Abhinav Agrawal

    I want a laptop for my family. It will be used for watching movies and internet surfing and some casual stuff like Microsoft office but not too intense. Is HP APU Quad Core A8 – (4 GB/1 TB HDD/Windows 10 Home) 15-BG004AU(price = 340$) Laptop a good choice??. Also, will it be ok to use it for some multitasking without any lag?

    Or Dell Inspiron Core i3 6th Gen – (4 GB/1 TB HDD/Windows 10 Home) 3467 Laptop (Price = 450$) ??

    • Danijel Z

      Hi, both the A8 and Intel Core i3 are sufficient for the tasks you mentioned, but the i3 is better in terms of power consumption and heat. Otherwise, they are pretty close performance wise and are very good CPUs for the daily tasks.

    • Joshua

      This thing barely functioned in my Inspiron i5755. I think it overcooked itself and died.

  9. axa

    Hi Steve, can you please review the newly released 7th gen A9-9400? I am rather curious about this A9 line, since it is only dual core with only 1MB cache, quite a downgrade from the A8 line.

    Thanks!

    • axa

      I mean Danijel! Sorry! (I misread it)

  10. Joshua

    What is the processor generation? because my computer has AMD A8 -7410 APU with AMD Radeon A5 built in.

    • Steve

      is it your graphics card dedicated or integrated?? Some laptop has R5 Radeon Graphics, but it’s integrated and if you have 8GB of RAM, the VRAM for the GPU is 1GB… To check your laptop graphic card, please download AMD Catalyst control for more info…

      Cheers!

    • zillehaider

      Its 6th generation processor in quad core….AMD A8 7410 with Radeon R5 Graphics

    • satvik

      Hi sir
      Radeon R5 Graphics not a work

  11. Tyler

    HP 15-f387wm Touchscreen Laptop AMD A8-7410 2.2GHz 4GB Memory 500GB Drive Win 10 is this a decent computer for playing runescape, world of tanks and minecraft let me know plzz

    • Steve

      does it have a dedicated GPU or i? I’ll recommend you to buy Lenovo G41-35 with 4GB of RAM and dedicated R5 M430 2GB Graphics card….

      Cheers
      Steve

  12. Chris

    My A8-7410 with R5 graphics has 8GB of RAM with 1GB vram and 2.2 G-Hertz but its not really performing gaming wise even with all these specifications. I cant tell if I need an update or the system isnt powerful enough please explain more.

    • imran

      I am having the same problem here. and i need to know the ans..what would i have to do for the better performance for gaming.?

    • Mary

      same issue for me, I design after my 1TB harddrive crashed, I put in 5oogb, but it didnt take long before it started slowing down. From loading windows to general slow peformance. Which never used to be!!! I am trying to figure out the issue. Because i dont know if i should buy an additional RAM (current is 8gb) or buy an SSD? please did anyone here face similar situation and how did you solve it?

    • Dan

      Hi, replacing your HDD with an SSD drive will make a huge difference for sure, regardless of other factors. Your problems appear to be related to that. Upgrading RAM to more than 8GB makes sense only if your RAM usage goes above 8GB. You can monitor RAM usage it in Windows Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC).
