About the Intel Core i7-8500Y CPU

The Intel Core i7-8500Y is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i7-8500Y is compatible with FCBGA1515 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i7-8500Y 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 i7-8500Y 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 4200.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-8500Y 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 Core i7-8500Y has the 507th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 8.80% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD FX-9830P CPU

The AMD FX-9830P is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2016. It is part of AMD's FX lineup, which is based on the Bristol Ridge microarchitecture. The FX-9830P is compatible with AMD Socket FP4 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R7 8CU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The FX-9830P supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the FX-9830P has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 320 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 FX-9830P 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 3.0 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 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 FX-9830P includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon R7 8CU. 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 FX-9830P has the 518th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 8.33% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
