About the Intel Pentium Gold 7505 CPU

The Intel Pentium Gold 7505 is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Gold 7505 is compatible with FCBGA1449 motherboards and is fabricated on a 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel UHD Graphics for 11th Gen Intel Processors integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pentium Gold 7505 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 160 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2.5 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pentium Gold 7505 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 2000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3500.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Pentium Gold 7505 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel UHD Graphics for 11th Gen Intel Processors. 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 Gold 7505 has the 400th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 14.29% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i7-6560U CPU

The Intel Core i7-6560U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Core i7-6560U is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel Iris Graphics 540 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i7-6560U 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. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-6560U 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 2200.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3200.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
