About the Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 955 CPU
The Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 955 is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q4 2005 with a suggested retail price of $999. It is part of Intel's Pentium Extreme Edition lineup, which is based on the Presler microarchitecture. The Extreme Edition 955 is compatible with Intel Socket 775 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 65 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Pentium Extreme Edition 955 supports DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Pentium Extreme Edition 955 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 16 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Pentium Extreme Edition 955 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 3.5 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Pentium Extreme Edition 955 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the AMD Athlon XP-M 2600+ CPU
The AMD Athlon XP-M 2600+ is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2003 with a suggested retail price of $246. It is part of AMD's Athlon XP lineup, which is based on the Barton microarchitecture. The XP-M 2600+ is compatible with AMD Socket A motherboards and is fabricated on a 130 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Athlon XP-M 2600+ 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.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Athlon XP-M 2600+ is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2000.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Athlon XP-M 2600+ does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
