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 i7-840QM CPU
The Intel Core i7-840QM is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2010 with a suggested retail price of $568. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Clarksfield microarchitecture. The i7-840QM is compatible with Intel Socket G1 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 45 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Core i7-840QM supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-840QM 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 8 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i7-840QM features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1867.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3.2 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 Core i7-840QM 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 Core i7-840QM has the 413th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 12.67% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 4,686 score and $568 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 8.25. This is the 205th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
