About the Intel Celeron N2920 CPU

The Intel Celeron N2920 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2013. It is part of Intel's Celeron lineup, which is based on the Bay Trail microarchitecture. The N2920 is compatible with Intel BGA 1170 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the HD Graphics integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Celeron N2920 supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the Celeron N2920 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 Celeron N2920 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 1860.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2000.0 MHz 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 N2920 includes an integrated graphics solution called HD Graphics. 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 N2920 has the 659th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.28% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Pentium 2129Y CPU

The Intel Pentium 2129Y is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2012. It is part of Intel's Pentium lineup, which is based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The 2129Y is compatible with Intel BGA 1023 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Pentium 2129Y supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Pentium 2129Y 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 2129Y 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 1100.0 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 2129Y 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 2129Y has the 695th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 3.08% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
