Summary
About the Intel Celeron G530 CPU
The Intel Celeron G530 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2011. It is part of Intel's Celeron lineup, which is based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. The G530 is compatible with Intel Socket 1155 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD (Sandy Bridge) integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Celeron G530 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Celeron G530 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 Celeron G530 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 2.4 GHz. 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 Celeron G530 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD (Sandy Bridge). 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.
About the AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition CPU
The AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2010. It is part of AMD's Phenom II X4 lineup, which is based on the Zosma microarchitecture. The X4 960T Black Edition is compatible with AMD Socket AM3 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 45 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition supports DDR2, DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 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 6 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition 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 3.0 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.4 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 Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
