About the Intel Celeron J4005 CPU

The Intel Celeron J4005 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2017 with a suggested retail price of $107. It is part of Intel's Celeron lineup, which is based on the Goldmont Plus microarchitecture. The J4005 is compatible with Intel BGA 1090 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 600 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Celeron J4005 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Celeron J4005 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 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Celeron J4005 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 2000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.7 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Celeron J4005 includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 600. 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 & Value

The Celeron J4005 has the 626th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.07% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 1,877 score and $107 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 17.54. This is the 169th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD A9-9420 CPU

The AMD A9-9420 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2016. It is part of AMD's A9 lineup, which is based on the Stoney Ridge microarchitecture. The A9-9420 is compatible with AMD Socket FT4 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R5 3CU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A9-9420 supports DDR4 memory and features a single-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 1 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A9-9420 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 160 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A9-9420 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 3.0 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.6 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The A9-9420 includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon R5 3CU. 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 A9-9420 has the 654th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.41% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
