About the AMD FX-9800P CPU

The AMD FX-9800P is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2016. It is part of AMD's FX lineup, which is based on the Bristol Ridge microarchitecture. The FX-9800P is compatible with AMD Socket FP4 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R7 8CU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The FX-9800P supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the FX-9800P has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 320 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The FX-9800P features 4 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 2.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.6 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 FX-9800P includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon R7 8CU. 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 FX-9800P has the 576th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.47% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Phenom II X4 N970 CPU

The AMD Phenom II X4 N970 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The X4 N970 is compatible with S1 motherboards and is fabricated on a 45 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Phenom II X4 N970 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 512 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Phenom II X4 N970 features 4 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 2200.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Phenom II X4 N970 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Phenom II X4 N970 has the 618th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.24% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
