About the Intel Pentium B980 CPU

The Intel Pentium B980 is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2012. It is part of Intel's Pentium lineup, which is based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. The B980 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 B980 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Pentium B980 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 B980 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 2.4 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 B980 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 B980 has the 596th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.96% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD A10 Pro-7350B CPU

The AMD A10 Pro-7350B is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The A10 Pro-7350B is compatible with Socket FP3 (906) motherboards and is fabricated on a 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R6 Series integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the A10 Pro-7350B has a L2 cache of 4 MB in size which provides fast access to instructions and data.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A10 Pro-7350B features 4 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 2100.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3300.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The A10 Pro-7350B includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon R6 Series. 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 A10 Pro-7350B has the 610th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.59% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
