About the Intel Core i5-1240P CPU

The Intel Core i5-1240P is a 12-core (16-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2022. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Alder Lake-P microarchitecture. The i5-1240P is compatible with Intel BGA 1744 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the Iris Xe 80EU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-1240P supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1240P 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 1.25 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-1240P features 12 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 12 cores consist of 4 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores. P-Cores are designed for high-performance tasks and E-Cores are intended for efficiency and lighter tasks. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1700.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 4.4 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 i5-1240P includes an integrated graphics solution called Iris Xe 80EU. 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 i5-1240P has the 167th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 35.95% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS CPU

The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2022. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 9 lineup, which is based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. The PRO 6950HS is compatible with AMD Socket FP7 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 6 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon 680M integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS supports DDR5 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS 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. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.3 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.9 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.
