About the AMD FX-9830P CPU

The AMD FX-9830P 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-9830P 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-9830P supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the FX-9830P 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-9830P 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 3.0 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 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-9830P 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-9830P has the 518th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 8.33% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i5-3210M CPU

The Intel Core i5-3210M is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The i5-3210M is compatible with Intel Socket G2 (988B) motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i5-3210M 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 3 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-3210M 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 2.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.1 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 i5-3210M includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 4000. 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 i5-3210M has the 478th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 9.87% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
