What the A9-9410 SoC is
The A9-9410 SoC is a two core, two thread mobile processor from Stoney Ridge. It launched in May 2016 with a 2.9 GHz base and up to 3.5 GHz boost at 15 W. Two cores at high clocks cover entry laptops where responsive pace matters.
One megabyte of L2 cache feeds office multitasking. The 2.9 GHz base sustains browsing well, while 3.5 GHz boost lifts single thread peaks. Fifteen watts fit thin bodies.
Radeon graphics handle streaming. Single channel DDR4 keeps board costs down. The chip sits below the 9420 on clocks.
On 28 nm the 9410 solders to FP4 boards. It shares power with FT4 Stoney parts on a different footprint. Locked multiplier keeps behavior steady.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The A9-9410 solders to Socket FP4 with no upgrade path. Laptop model fixes the chip for life. Boards set 15 W in firmware.
Thin laptops use soldered DDR4 and SSDs. The How to find your CPU socket type guide covers BGA identification.
The AMD A6-9210 SoC on the same socket trims clocks where cost matters. The A9-9420 SoC on Socket FT4 is the FT4 counterpart with higher clocks.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4-2133 single channel is the memory design. Bandwidth covers office tasks.
Eight PCIe lanes wire storage and networking.
Fifteen watts cool with a small fan.
Upgrade paths
No CPU swap exists on soldered FP4. SSD updates extend life.
A new laptop is the path past dual cores.
