About the Intel Pentium 3556U CPU

The Intel Pentium 3556U is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2013. It is part of Intel's Pentium lineup, which is based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The 3556U is compatible with Intel BGA 1168 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Pentium 3556U supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the Pentium 3556U 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 3556U 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 1700.0 MHz. 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 3556U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD. 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 3556U has the 640th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.75% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Celeron 1037U CPU

The Intel Celeron 1037U is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2013. It is part of Intel's Celeron lineup, which is based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The 1037U is compatible with Intel BGA 1023 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Celeron 1037U supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Celeron 1037U 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 Celeron 1037U 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 1800.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
