About the AMD E2-1800 CPU

The AMD E2-1800 is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012. It is part of AMD's E2 lineup, which is based on the Zacate 2 microarchitecture. The E2-1800 is compatible with AMD Socket FT1 motherboards and is fabricated on a 40 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 7340 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The E2-1800 supports DDR3 memory and features a single-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 1 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the E2-1800 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 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The E2-1800 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 1700.0 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 E2-1800 includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 7340. 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 E2-1800 has the 707th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 1.99% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i7-4790S CPU

The Intel Core i7-4790S is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2014 with a suggested retail price of $312. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The i7-4790S is compatible with Intel Socket 1150 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-4790S supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4790S 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 8 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-4790S features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.2 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.0 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 i7-4790S includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 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 & Value

The Core i7-4790S has the 290th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 23.37% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 8,643 score and $312 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 27.7. This is the 130th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
