About the Intel Pentium N4200 CPU

The Intel Pentium N4200 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The N4200 is compatible with Socket 1296 FCBGA motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 505 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pentium N4200 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 896 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 N4200 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 1100.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2500.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Pentium N4200 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics 505. 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 N4200 has the 608th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.64% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD A8-4500M CPU

The AMD A8-4500M is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012. It is part of AMD's A8 lineup, which is based on the Trinity microarchitecture. The A8-4500M is compatible with AMD Socket FS1r2 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 7640G integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A8-4500M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A8-4500M has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 192 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A8-4500M 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 1900.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.8 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 A8-4500M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 7640G. 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 A8-4500M has the 591st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.06% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
