About the AMD Pro A10-8700B CPU

The AMD Pro A10-8700B is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Pro A10-8700B is compatible with Socket FP4 (968) motherboards and is fabricated on a 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R6 Series integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pro A10-8700B 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 Pro A10-8700B 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, and it can boost up to 3200.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Pro A10-8700B includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon R6 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 Pro A10-8700B has the 604th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.74% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i3-3217U CPU

The Intel Core i3-3217U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012. It is part of Intel's Core i3 lineup, which is based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The i3-3217U is compatible with Intel BGA 1023 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i3-3217U 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 3 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i3-3217U features 2 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. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i3-3217U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 4000. 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 Core i3-3217U has the 606th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.71% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
