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 Intel Pentium N3520 CPU
The Intel Pentium N3520 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The N3520 is compatible with FCBGA1170 motherboards and is fabricated on a 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics for Intel Atom Processor Z3700 Series integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Pentium N3520 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 224 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 0 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Pentium N3520 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 2167.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2420.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
Integrated Graphics
The Pentium N3520 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics for Intel Atom Processor Z3700 Series. 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 Pentium N3520 has the 634th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.85% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
