About the Intel Core i3-4030U CPU
The Intel Core i3-4030U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i3-4030U is compatible with FCBGA1168 motherboards and is fabricated on a 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 4400 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Core i3-4030U 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 3 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i3-4030U 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 1900.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture.
Integrated Graphics
The Core i3-4030U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics 4400. 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 i3-4030U has the 563rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.92% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
About the AMD C-50 CPU
The AMD C-50 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2011. It is part of AMD's C lineup, which is based on the Ontario microarchitecture. The C-50 is compatible with AMD Socket FT1 motherboards and is fabricated on a 40 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 6250 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The C-50 supports DDR3 memory and features a single-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 1 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the C-50 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 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The C-50 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 1000.0 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 C-50 includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 6250. 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 C-50 has the 720th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 1.01% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
