The A9 wasn’t Ryzen-branded, iirc that was a member of Kavari (28nm) CPUs that were allowed to work on modern boards/sockets so that AMD had something to offer users as the industry went into DDR4 while Gen1 Ryzen still didn’t really have a mobile or ultra-budget presence

A9 was pre ryzen.

Time to get into retro gaming or play games with low motion.
The amazing thing is that people used to play text adventures.

you at least gad a Lenovo with your A9

A9 is not a ryzen ☠️

you mean AMD Athlon* A9? cause my Legion 5’s Ryzen 5 4600H fucking rips

This is why we do the research on devices and their specs before we buy. I bought a chromebook with an A9 for college and quickly learned the same lesson. That rabbit hole is what brought me to the whole PC building culture

It’s not a Ryzen. That being said, my Ryzen 5600h works wonders for a laptop. Honestly debate whether I really wanna upgrade to a desktop 7600x some days.
(I will be upgrading but still, that 5600h does well for its age and power)

Pre-Ryzen AMD CPUs are notoriously and infamously bad.
Should’ve gone for the a10-7300, hl2 runs 1080@60fps on the highest graphics settings.
After looking into it though I think mine is older having a release date of 2014 whereas the a9-9420 released in 2017, old amd is super confusing.
Also not ryzen it’s pre ryzen, and the integrated graphics are radeon not vega.

Try running 4k with 4 GB of vram

Had the same experience with an all in one when i didn’t know much about pcs, i don’t understand why they advertise those for “gaming” anyway

Meanwhile I can manage 500FPS on 16k resolution no problem

Dawg. You’re using ancient hardware.

Dude, I just got a used Lenovo workstation for under $100 on eBay and it performs better than that. Though granted, I didn’t get it for gaming but for work… but I couldn’t resist running some benchmnarks and test games on it when setting it up just to see how it runs.

Iirc I had an A6 in my old Lenovo I stole from the scrapyard and with a ram and ssd upgrade it was actually usable (until windows update started). Too bad it died shortly after. I liked it, the keyboard was really good, not to mention it was my very first laptop, got it just shortly after I bought a PC

Can you provide a model name for the laptop?
A9 isnt Ryzen , its a FAR older AMD APU. Somewhere along the age before Ryzen, when AMD was legit terrible and their only benefit was : “Well we are much cheaper.”
Pair that with their “meh ” iGPU and you get that low performance. My First PC ever was a laptop from that age: Vision x4 (athlon mobile) and an HD6470m , literally 1/6th as fast as the steamdeck barely eeking out 30 FPS 720p
All 4 of its cores are not even a single Ryzen core in the steamdeck

bro A9 was like a decade old processor that existed before ryzen, it was a laptop processor that wasn’t even top tier, there was also a10 and a12 and they were all shit, you seriously got a bad deal bro.

I have Intel dual core
Dual core, nothing to see here
