About the Intel Core i7-5650U CPU

The Intel Core i7-5650U is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2015 with a suggested retail price of $426. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Broadwell-U microarchitecture. The i7-5650U is compatible with Intel BGA 1168 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 6000 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-5650U supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-5650U 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 256 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 i7-5650U 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 2.2 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.2 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 i7-5650U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 6000. 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 i7-5650U has the 467th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 10.27% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 3,800 score and $426 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 8.92. This is the 203rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen 3 3300U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300U is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2019. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 3 lineup, which is based on the Zen+ microarchitecture. The 3300U is compatible with AMD Socket FP5 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 12 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Vega 6 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 3 3300U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3300U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 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 Ryzen 3 3300U 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 2.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.5 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.
