About the AMD Athlon 64 LE-1640B CPU

The AMD Athlon 64 LE-1640B is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2008. It is part of AMD's Athlon 64 lineup, which is based on the Lima microarchitecture. The 64 LE-1640B is compatible with AMD Socket AM2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 65 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Athlon 64 LE-1640B supports DDR2 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Athlon 64 LE-1640B has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Athlon 64 LE-1640B is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.7 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Athlon 64 LE-1640B does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

About the Intel Xeon Phi 5120D CPU

The Intel Xeon Phi 5120D is a 60-core (240-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of Intel's Xeon Phi lineup, which is based on the Knights Corner microarchitecture. The Phi 5120D is compatible with SFF 230-Pin motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Xeon Phi 5120D supports DDR3, DDR4 memory. In terms of cache, the Xeon Phi 5120D has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 32 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Xeon Phi 5120D features 60 total cores which can process 240 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1053.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Xeon Phi 5120D does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
