About the Intel Celeron N3060 CPU

The Intel Celeron N3060 is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Celeron N3060 is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Celeron N3060 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 Celeron N3060 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 1600.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2480.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Celeron N3060 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 Celeron N3060 has the 701st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 2.68% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Athlon 300U CPU

The AMD Athlon 300U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2019. It is part of AMD's Athlon lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The 300U is compatible with AMD Socket FP5 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Vega 3 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Athlon 300U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Athlon 300U 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 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Athlon 300U features 2 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 2.4 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.3 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 Athlon 300U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Vega 3. 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 Athlon 300U has the 493rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 9.26% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
