Summary
About the AMD Opteron 248 CPU
The AMD Opteron 248 is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q4 2003. It is part of AMD's Opteron lineup, which is based on the SledgeHammer microarchitecture. The Opteron 248 is compatible with AMD Socket 940 motherboards and is fabricated on a 130 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Opteron 248 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 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Opteron 248 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 2.2 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 Opteron 248 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 Pentium Gold 8505 CPU
The Intel Pentium Gold 8505 is a 5-core (6-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2022. It is part of Intel's Pentium lineup, which is based on the Alder Lake-U microarchitecture. The Gold 8505 is compatible with Intel BGA 1744 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 48EU integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Pentium Gold 8505 supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Pentium Gold 8505 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1.25 MB, 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 Pentium Gold 8505 features 5 total cores which can process 6 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 5 cores consist of 1 P-Cores and 4 E-Cores. P-Cores are designed for high-performance tasks and E-Cores are intended for efficiency and lighter tasks. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1200.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 4.4 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 Pentium Gold 8505 includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 48EU. 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.
