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 A8-5557M CPU
The AMD A8-5557M is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of AMD's A8 lineup, which is based on the Richland microarchitecture. The A8-5557M is compatible with AMD Socket FP2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 8550G integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The A8-5557M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A8-5557M 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 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The A8-5557M 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 2.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.1 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 A8-5557M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 8550G. 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 A8-5557M has the 585th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.27% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
