About the Intel Core m5-6Y57 CPU
The Intel Core m5-6Y57 is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2015 with a suggested retail price of $281. It is part of Intel's Core m5 lineup, which is based on the Skylake-Y microarchitecture. The m5-6Y57 is compatible with Intel BGA 1515 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 515 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Core m5-6Y57 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core m5-6Y57 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 4 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core m5-6Y57 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 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 m5-6Y57 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 515. 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 m5-6Y57 has the 550th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 7.25% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 2,681 score and $281 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 9.54. This is the 200th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
About the AMD A4-3300M CPU
The AMD A4-3300M is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2011. It is part of AMD's A4 lineup, which is based on the Llano microarchitecture. The A4-3300M is compatible with AMD Socket FS1 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 6480G integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The A4-3300M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A4-3300M has multiple levels of cache.
