i went  to my local store came across a  hp pavilion not sure of year of  manufacture found it had the following specs   am not so sure if it will work for me particularly  in rendering  using blender archicard ,slight gaming before purchasing a graphics card  what of the cores  wondering is an A6  pricessor similar to an i7

mingd you the Radeon R5  graphics card is an APU

i have attached photos below

A6 is just the model series. In the current hierarchy it means it's weak, suitable only for Facebook and very casual games. I'd advise against it for Blender and other such programs.

The particular APU in the photo is the A6-8550 which is from 2015. It is dual core, and probably about as good as an i3-3250.
