About the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2019 with a suggested retail price of $199. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The 3600 is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process. It is bundled a Wraith Stealth cooler.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 5 3600 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 3600 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 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 32 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 5 3600 features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.6 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.2 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 3600 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

About the Intel Atom N450 CPU

The Intel Atom N450 is an end-of-life 1-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2009. It is part of Intel's Atom lineup, which is based on the Pineview microarchitecture. The N450 is compatible with Intel BGA 559 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 45 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Atom N450 supports DDR2 memory. In terms of cache, the Atom N450 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 56 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Atom N450 is a single core CPU, but is able to 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 1667.0 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 Atom N450 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
