About the AMD Ryzen 5 1500X CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 1500X is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2017 with a suggested retail price of $189. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The 1500X is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 5 1500X supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 1500X has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 5 1500X features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 5 1500X does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Ryzen 5 1500X has the 258th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 25.86% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 9,566 score and $189 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 50.61. This is the 46th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Celeron N3150 CPU

The Intel Celeron N3150 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The N3150 is compatible with FCBGA1170 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics for Intel Celeron Processor N3000 Series integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Celeron N3150 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 448 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 Celeron N3150 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 1600.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2080.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Celeron N3150 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics for Intel Celeron Processor N3000 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 Celeron N3150 has the 666th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.10% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
