About the Intel Pentium Silver N6005 CPU

The Intel Pentium Silver N6005 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Silver N6005 is compatible with FCBGA1338 motherboards and is fabricated on a 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel UHD Graphics integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pentium Silver N6005 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 256 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1.5 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pentium Silver N6005 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 2000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3300.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Pentium Silver N6005 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel UHD Graphics. 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 N6005 has the 429th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 11.74% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i5-6260U CPU

The Intel Core i5-6260U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i5-6260U is compatible with FCBGA1356 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel Iris Graphics 540 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i5-6260U 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 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-6260U features 2 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 1800.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2900.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
