About the AMD Athlon II X2 220 CPU
The AMD Athlon II X2 220 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2010. It is part of AMD's Athlon II X2 lineup, which is based on the Regor microarchitecture. The X2 220 is compatible with AMD Socket AM3 motherboards and is fabricated on a 45 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Athlon II X2 220 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Athlon II X2 220 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 II X2 220 features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.8 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 II X2 220 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 Core i5-8500B CPU
The Intel Core i5-8500B is an end-of-life 6-core (6-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2018 with a suggested retail price of $192. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Coffee Lake microarchitecture. The i5-8500B is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 630 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Core i5-8500B supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-8500B has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 9 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i5-8500B features 6 total cores which can process 6 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.0 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.1 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Core i5-8500B includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 630. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.
