About the Intel Pentium N3700 CPU

The Intel Pentium N3700 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The N3700 is compatible with FCBGA1170 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics for Intel Celeron Processor N3000 Series integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pentium N3700 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 448 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 N3700 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 1600.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2400.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Pentium N3700 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics for Intel Celeron Processor N3000 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 N3700 has the 639th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.78% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Celeron 2955U CPU

The Intel Celeron 2955U is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2013. It is part of Intel's Celeron lineup, which is based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The 2955U is compatible with Intel Socket G3 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Celeron 2955U supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the Celeron 2955U 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 Celeron 2955U 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 1400.0 MHz. 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 Celeron 2955U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD. 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 Celeron 2955U has the 656th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 4.34% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
