About the AMD Opteron 885 CPU

The AMD Opteron 885 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q1 2006. It is part of AMD's Opteron X2 lineup, which is based on the Egypt microarchitecture. The Opteron 885 is compatible with AMD Socket 940 motherboards and is fabricated on a 90 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Opteron 885 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 885 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 2.6 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 885 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 4 HT 524 CPU

The Intel Pentium 4 HT 524 is an end-of-life 1-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2001. It is part of Intel's Pentium 4 HT lineup, which is based on the Prescott microarchitecture. The 4 HT 524 is compatible with Intel Socket 775 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 90 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Pentium 4 HT 524 supports DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Pentium 4 HT 524 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 16 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 Pentium 4 HT 524 is a single core CPU, but is able to 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 3.1 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 Pentium 4 HT 524 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
