About the Intel Core i9-10980HK CPU

The Intel Core i9-10980HK is an end-of-life 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2020 with a suggested retail price of $643. It is part of Intel's Core i9 lineup, which is based on the Comet Lake-H microarchitecture. The i9-10980HK is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i9-10980HK supports DDR4 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i9-10980HK 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 16 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i9-10980HK features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.4 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.3 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 i9-10980HK includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics. 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 i9-10980HK has the 117th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 43.98% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 16,268 score and $643 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 25.3. This is the 143rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Core i5-5350U CPU

The Intel Core i5-5350U 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 $315. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Broadwell-U microarchitecture. The i5-5350U 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 i5-5350U supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-5350U 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 3 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-5350U 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 1800.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.9 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.
