What the A4 PRO-3340B is
The A4 PRO-3340B brings Kabini to business notebooks on Socket FT3 with manageability features. It runs 4 cores and 4 threads at a fixed 2.2 GHz with 2 MB of L2 cache. Power is 25 W on 28 nm from December 2014. The PRO tag marks business stability and image support.
The 2.2 GHz fixed clock leads Kabini notebook parts for office bursts. Four cores handle business multitasking with security agents. The 25 W envelope suits 14 inch business bodies with standard cooling. The soldered package means IT locks configs for fleet images.
Radeon HD 8240 drives business panels and projectors for presentations. DDR3-1600 feeds cores and graphics over one channel. Buyers pick the PRO-3340B where business Kabini notebooks must run managed fleets.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The PRO-3340B solders to the board on Socket FT3 and cannot be replaced. Fleet images lock memory and storage at deployment. Business boards wire TPM and manageability around the SoC.
FT3 business notebooks use SoC SATA and USB. Socketed AM1 desktops cannot take this BGA chip. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide explains soldered fleet consequences.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3-1600 over a single channel suits business fleets. Eight gigabytes covers office work with protection tools. Single channel is fixed by the SoC.
PCIe 2.0 with up to 8 lanes from the SoC serves SSDs and docks. Business SSDs transform feel on fixed clocks. Most builds stay on HD 8240 graphics.
Cooling follows the business notebook design for 25 W. Docked desks sustain 2.2 GHz well. The locked multiplier keeps fleet thermals steady.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the AMD A4-5050 at 1.55 GHz below saves power for classroom fleets, while Beema PRO parts cover newer business notebooks. All share FT3 boards and DDR3.
Newer business portables moved to Beema. The PRO-3340B holds late Kabini business duty at 25 W.
