About the Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 CPU

The Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2015 with a suggested retail price of $434. It is part of Intel's Xeon E3 lineup, which is based on the Skylake-H microarchitecture. The E3-1505M v5 is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the HD Graphics P530 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Xeon E3-1505M v5 supports DDR3, DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon E3-1505M v5 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 8 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Xeon E3-1505M v5 features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.8 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 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 Xeon E3-1505M v5 includes an integrated graphics solution called HD Graphics P530. 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 & Value

The Xeon E3-1505M v5 has the 268th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 25.23% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 9,332 score and $434 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 21.5. This is the 152nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD A9-9425 CPU

The AMD A9-9425 is a 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2016. It is part of AMD's A9 lineup, which is based on the Stoney Ridge microarchitecture. The A9-9425 is compatible with AMD Socket FT4 motherboards and is fabricated on a 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R5 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A9-9425 supports DDR4 memory. In terms of cache, the A9-9425 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 A9-9425 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 3.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 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.
