About the Intel Core i5-L16G7 CPU

The Intel Core i5-L16G7 is an end-of-life 5-core (5-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2020 with a suggested retail price of $281. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Lakefield microarchitecture. The i5-L16G7 is compatible with FC-CSP1016 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 64EU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i5-L16G7 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 512 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 i5-L16G7 features 5 total cores which can process 5 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 5 cores consist of 1 P-Cores and 4 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 1400.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3.0 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-L16G7 includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 64EU. 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 & Value

The Core i5-L16G7 has the 522nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 8.15% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 3,015 score and $281 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 10.73. This is the 189th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Celeron N4020 CPU

The Intel Celeron N4020 is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The N4020 is compatible with Socket 1090 FCBGA motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel UHD Graphics 600 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Celeron N4020 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 1,792 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Celeron N4020 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 1100.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2800.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Celeron N4020 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel UHD Graphics 600. 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 Celeron N4020 has the 651st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.46% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
