AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ vs Intel Core i5-4210H

The AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2004. It is part of AMD's Athlon XP lineup, which is based on the Barton microarchitecture. The XP-M 2800+ is compatible with AMD Socket A motherboards and is fabricated on a 130 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Athlon XP-M 2800+ 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 XP-M 2800+ 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 2.1 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Athlon XP-M 2800+ does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

The Intel Core i5-4210H is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i5-4210H is compatible with FCBGA1364 motherboards and is fabricated on a 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 4600 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i5-4210H 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. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 3 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-4210H features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2900.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3500.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-4210H includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics 4600. 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.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i5-4210H has the 453rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 10.79% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
