About the Intel Core i7-7560U CPU

The Intel Core i7-7560U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i7-7560U is compatible with BGA1356 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i7-7560U 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 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-7560U 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 2400.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3800.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-7560U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640. 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 i7-7560U has the 411th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 12.69% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Pentium Gold 5405U CPU

The Intel Pentium Gold 5405U is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2019 with a suggested retail price of $161. It is part of Intel's Pentium Gold lineup, which is based on the Whiskey Lake microarchitecture. The Gold 5405U is compatible with Intel BGA 1528 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 620 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Pentium Gold 5405U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Pentium Gold 5405U 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 2 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pentium Gold 5405U 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 2.3 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Pentium Gold 5405U includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 620. 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 Pentium Gold 5405U has the 513th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 8.51% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 3,148.5 score and $161 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 19.56. This is the 160th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
