Entry-level CPUs are used in budget computers aimed at office applications and simple domestic tasks, like text editing and web surfing. Today, we will compare two processors from this class: the AMD A6-7400B and the Pentium G4400 “Skylake” from Intel. Which one will be faster? Let’s find out!
The A6-7400B from AMD is, actually, a model sold directly to computer manufacturers, which means you will not find it being sold alone in retail, but only inside branded computers. Its full name is  actually “A6 PRO-7400B;” however, according to AMD, it is the same A6-7400K processor (except for this last one, as any AMD CPU ending with a “K,” having its clock multiplier unlocked for easy overclocking). So, the performance analysis of the A6-7400B is also valid for the A6-7400K, which is a retail CPU. The PRO models from AMD (models ending with a B) are aimed on enterprise applications, but their only differences from the “normal” models are regarding to warranty and purchase channel. AMD also offers a set of features for TI managing, called AMD PRO, but those features are only available on enterprise motherboards.
The A6-7400B we tested (as well as the A6-7400K) has two cores, 3.5 GHz base clock, 3.9 GHz turbo clock, Radeon R5 graphics engine, and uses FM2+ socket.
On the Intel corner, we tested the Pentium G4400, which is one of the most inexpensive models from the sixth generation of the Core i family, codenamed “Skylake.” It is a dual-core CPU with 3.3 GHz clock and Intel HD 510 graphics engine, and uses the new LGA 1151 socket.
Figure 1 shows the tested CPUs, side by side. They are direct competitors, having the same price tag.

Figure 2 shows the Pentium G4400 with its box and stock cooler. The A6-7400B comes without package or cooler, since it is aimed on OEM market.

We also included in our performance charts the A10-7870 and the Core i3-6100 that we tested recently. Besides being processors from a higher price range, they are the stronger brothers of the A6-7400B and the Pentium G4400, respectively. Therefore, we thought it would be interesting to check the performance difference between the mainstream CPUs and their less expensive versions.
Let us compare the main specs of the reviewed CPUs in the next page.
