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.

About the AMD E1-6010 CPU

The AMD E1-6010 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2014. It is part of AMD's E1 lineup, which is based on the Beema microarchitecture. The E1-6010 is compatible with AMD Socket FT3 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R2 Graphics integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The E1-6010 supports DDR3 memory and features a single-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 1 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the E1-6010 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 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The E1-6010 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 1350.0 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 E1-6010 includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon R2 Graphics. 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 E1-6010 has the 710th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 1.83% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
