About the Intel Pentium N3520 CPU

The Intel Pentium N3520 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The N3520 is compatible with FCBGA1170 motherboards and is fabricated on a 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics for Intel Atom Processor Z3700 Series integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pentium N3520 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 224 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 0 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pentium N3520 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 2167.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2420.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Pentium N3520 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics for Intel Atom Processor Z3700 Series. 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 N3520 has the 634th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.85% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD A6-5350M CPU

The AMD A6-5350M is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of AMD's A6 lineup, which is based on the Richland microarchitecture. The A6-5350M is compatible with AMD Socket FS1r2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 8450G integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A6-5350M supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the A6-5350M 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 A6-5350M features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.9 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.5 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 A6-5350M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 8450G. 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 A6-5350M has the 673rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 3.82% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
