Summary
About the Intel Core i7-990X CPU
The Intel Core i7-990X is an end-of-life 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2011. It is part of Intel's Core i7 Extreme lineup, which is based on the Gulftown microarchitecture. The i7-990X is compatible with Intel Socket 1366 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Core i7-990X supports DDR3 memory and features a triple-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 3 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-990X 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 12 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i7-990X features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.5 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 unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Core i7-990X does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the Intel Processor 300 CPU
The Intel Processor 300 is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2024 with a suggested retail price of $82. It is part of Intel's Intel Processor lineup, which is based on the Raptor Lake microarchitecture. The Processor 300 is compatible with Intel Socket 1700 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 710 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Processor 300 supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Processor 300 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 1.25 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 6 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Processor 300 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 3.9 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 Processor 300 includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 710. 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.
