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 580th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 791 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 8.23% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X. Its 3,148.5 score and $161 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 19.56. This is the 187th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX CPU

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX is a 64-core (128-thread) processor built for the workstation CPU market. It launched in Q3 2020 with a suggested retail price of $5,489. It is part of AMD's Ryzen Threadripper lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The Threadripper PRO 3995WX is compatible with AMD Socket WRX8 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX supports DDR4 memory and features a octa-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 8 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX 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 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 256 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX features 64 total cores which can process 128 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.2 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 Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX has the 135th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 791 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 45.78% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X. Its 17,518 score and $5,489 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 3.19. This is the 241st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
