About the Intel Pentium 2127U CPU

The Intel Pentium 2127U is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The 2127U is compatible with FCBGA1023 motherboards and is fabricated on a 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics for 3rd Generation Intel Processors integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pentium 2127U 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 2 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pentium 2127U features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1900.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Pentium 2127U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics for 3rd Generation Intel Processors. 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 Pentium 2127U has the 637th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.82% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Pentium B970 CPU

The Intel Pentium B970 is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2012. It is part of Intel's Pentium lineup, which is based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. The B970 is compatible with Intel Socket G2 (988B) motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD (Sandy Bridge) integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Pentium B970 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Pentium B970 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 2 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pentium B970 features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.3 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 Pentium B970 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD (Sandy Bridge). 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 Pentium B970 has the 616th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.38% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
