About the Intel Atom x7-Z8700 CPU
The Intel Atom x7-Z8700 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The x7-Z8700 is compatible with UTFCBGA1380 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Atom x7-Z8700 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 Atom x7-Z8700 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 2400.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
Integrated Graphics
The Atom x7-Z8700 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 Atom x7-Z8700 has the 693rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 3.21% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
About the Intel Pentium 3556U CPU
The Intel Pentium 3556U is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2013. It is part of Intel's Pentium lineup, which is based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The 3556U is compatible with Intel BGA 1168 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Pentium 3556U supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the Pentium 3556U 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 2 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Pentium 3556U features 2 total cores which can 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 1700.0 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 Pentium 3556U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD. 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 3556U has the 640th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.75% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
