About the Intel Core i5-4202Y CPU

The Intel Core i5-4202Y is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i5-4202Y is compatible with FCBGA1168 motherboards and is fabricated on a 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 4200 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i5-4202Y 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 i5-4202Y 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 1600.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2000.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-4202Y includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics 4200. 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 i5-4202Y has the 572nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.60% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD A6-3420M CPU

The AMD A6-3420M 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 A6 lineup, which is based on the Llano microarchitecture. The A6-3420M is compatible with AMD Socket FS1 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 6520G integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A6-3420M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A6-3420M 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 A6-3420M 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 1500.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.4 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 A6-3420M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 6520G. 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 A6-3420M has the 582nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.34% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
