About the Intel Pentium Gold 5405U CPU

The Intel Pentium Gold 5405U is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2019 with a suggested retail price of $161. It is part of Intel's Pentium Gold lineup, which is based on the Whiskey Lake microarchitecture. The Gold 5405U is compatible with Intel BGA 1528 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 620 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Pentium Gold 5405U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Pentium Gold 5405U 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 Gold 5405U 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 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 Gold 5405U includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 620. 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 Pentium Gold 5405U has the 514th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 8.51% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 3,148.5 score and $161 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 19.56. This is the 161st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD FX-8800P CPU

The AMD FX-8800P is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2015. It is part of AMD's FX lineup, which is based on the Carrizo microarchitecture. The FX-8800P is compatible with AMD Socket FP4 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R7 8CU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The FX-8800P supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the FX-8800P has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 320 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The FX-8800P 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 2.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.4 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 FX-8800P includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon R7 8CU. 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 FX-8800P has the 539th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 7.44% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
