What the A4-1350 is
The A4-1350 is a quad core Temash Jaguar APU for performance tablets on Socket FT3. AMD set four Jaguar cores at 1.0 GHz with 2 MB of shared L2 cache. Power is 8 W on 28 nm from October 2013. Radeon HD 8210 graphics handle touch apps and video. Four threads suit heavier tablet multitasking that dual cores stall.
Quad threads keep browsing smooth beside downloads and background sync. Fixed clocks hold power even in sealed slates with small fans. Larger L2 over dual core parts trims reloads. The soldered package locks display and storage at order. Panel and flash quality decide feel more than clocks here.
Single channel DDR3 feeds cores and graphics. The 8 W budget allows thin active cooling. The A4-1350 covers tablets where four Jaguar threads at 8 W are needed.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The A4-1350 solders to Socket FT3 as BGA769 at 24.5 × 24.5 mm. No socket exists and no swap is possible. The chip cannot be replaced. Memory wires per slate design. Maker specs list exact ceilings.
The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide explains soldered tablet trade offs. Later changes cover software and external storage only. A faster slate needs a new board.
Bobcat FT1 packages never accept Jaguar silicon. Generations never interchange.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3-1066 class memory in a single channel suits tablets. Board sizes cover slate images. Soldered memory cannot grow later. Bandwidth fits HD touch screens.
PCIe 2.0 with up to 8 lanes from the SoC serves radios and storage. Tablet plans wire lanes per model. Maker manuals show exact paths.
Cooling is a thin fan or spreader for 8 W with pattern Not applicable (soldered). No boxed cooler exists. Keep backs clear during long video sessions.
Upgrade paths
On the same soldered line the AMD A4-1250 with two threads suits lighter tablets on similar boards. The AMD A6-1450 with four faster threads and turbo adds speed where slate cooling allows. Both share FT3 fit.
A new tablet means a new platform. The A4-1350 holds performance slates where quad 1.0 GHz threads at 8 W are wanted.
