About the Intel Pentium Silver N5030 CPU

The Intel Pentium Silver N5030 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Silver N5030 is compatible with FCBGA1090 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel UHD Graphics 605 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pentium Silver N5030 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 1,792 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 Pentium Silver N5030 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 3100.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Pentium Silver N5030 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel UHD Graphics 605. 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 Silver N5030 has the 579th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.43% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Celeron 2970M CPU

The Intel Celeron 2970M is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The 2970M is compatible with FCPGA946 motherboards and is fabricated on a 22 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Celeron 2970M 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. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 2 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Celeron 2970M 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 2200.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Celeron 2970M does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Celeron 2970M has the 589th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.14% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
