About the Intel Core i5-4210Y CPU

The Intel Core i5-4210Y is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i5-4210Y 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 i5-4210Y 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 i5-4210Y 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 1500.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 1900.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-4210Y 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 i5-4210Y has the 612th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.53% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Atom x5-Z8550 CPU

The Intel Atom x5-Z8550 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The x5-Z8550 is compatible with Socket 1380 BGA motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Atom x5-Z8550 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 224 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 0 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Atom x5-Z8550 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 1440.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2400.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Atom x5-Z8550 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Atom x5-Z8550 has the 644th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.70% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
