About the Intel Core m3-8100Y CPU

The Intel Core m3-8100Y is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The m3-8100Y is compatible with FCBGA1515 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core m3-8100Y 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 m3-8100Y 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 1100.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3400.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core m3-8100Y 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 m3-8100Y has the 561st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.97% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i5-460M CPU

The Intel Core i5-460M is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2010. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Arrandale microarchitecture. The i5-460M is compatible with Intel Socket G1 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-460M supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i5-460M 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 i5-460M 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 2.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 2.8 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 i5-460M 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 i5-460M has the 559th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.99% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
