About the Intel Core i3-1000NG4 CPU

The Intel Core i3-1000NG4 is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2020. It is part of Intel's Core i3 lineup, which is based on the Sunny Cove-Y microarchitecture. The i3-1000NG4 is compatible with Intel BGA 1044 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the Iris Plus (48EU) integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i3-1000NG4 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i3-1000NG4 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 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 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i3-1000NG4 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 1100.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3.2 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 Core i3-1000NG4 includes an integrated graphics solution called Iris Plus (48EU). 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 Core i3-1000NG4 has the 497th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 9.12% 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.
