About the Intel Celeron N4120 CPU
The Intel Celeron N4120 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The N4120 is compatible with FCBGA1090 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel UHD Graphics 600 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Celeron N4120 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 1,792 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 N4120 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 1100.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2600.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
Integrated Graphics
The Celeron N4120 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel 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
The Celeron N4120 has the 552nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 7.21% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
About the AMD A8-3520M CPU
The AMD A8-3520M is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2011. It is part of AMD's A8 lineup, which is based on the Llano microarchitecture. The A8-3520M is compatible with AMD Socket FS1 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 6620G integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The A8-3520M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A8-3520M 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 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The A8-3520M 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 2.5 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 A8-3520M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 6620G. 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 A8-3520M has the 571st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.63% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
