What the A4-6320B is
The A4-6320B is a B channel Richland dual core on Socket FM2 for system builders. It runs 2 cores and 2 threads at 3.8 GHz base with turbo to 4.0 GHz. One megabyte of L2 cache covers office builds. Power is 65 W on 32 nm from March 2014. The B suffix marks channel supply for integrators.
High base clocks match the 7300 class for responsive white box desktops. Turbo covers foreground bursts. The 65 W envelope fits standard micro towers. System builders pick tray pricing for volume bids.
Radeon HD 8370D drives bundled monitors for office contracts. DDR3-1600 over two channels feeds cores and graphics. The 6320B covers integrator lineups where B channel Richland must match 7300 speeds.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 6320B fits Socket FM2 on channel FM2 boards. Most Socket FM2+ boards boot it after a BIOS check. DDR3-1600 DIMMs match stock clocks. Tray supply suits volume images.
Dual channel DDR3 serves white box apps. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers AMD pairing. FM1 boards never accept Richland.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3-1600 over two channels suits integrator desktops. Factory 4 GB configs cover bids. Dual channel pairs help HD 8370D displays.
PCIe 2.0 from the APU feeds low profile slots. Most channel builds stay integrated. SSD options lift feel in newer images.
Cooling uses 65 W stock or tray coolers. The locked multiplier keeps bid thermals steady.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the AMD A4-7300 matches clocks with HD 8470D graphics above, while the AMD A4-4020 at 3.2 GHz below saves cost. All share FM2 boards.
FM2+ parts cover newer bids. The 6320B holds B channel Richland duty.
