About the AMD Phenom II X4 P960 CPU
The AMD Phenom II X4 P960 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The X4 P960 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 P960 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 P960 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 1800.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture.
Integrated Graphics
The Phenom II X4 P960 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 P960 has the 661st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.17% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
About the Intel Xeon E3-1535M v5 CPU
The Intel Xeon E3-1535M v5 is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2015 with a suggested retail price of $623. It is part of Intel's Xeon E3 lineup, which is based on the Skylake-H microarchitecture. The E3-1535M v5 is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the HD Graphics P530 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Xeon E3-1535M v5 supports DDR3, DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon E3-1535M v5 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 8 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Xeon E3-1535M v5 features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel.
