About the Intel Xeon E3-1505M v6 CPU

The Intel Xeon E3-1505M v6 is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The E3-1505M v6 is compatible with Socket 1440 FCBGA motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics P630 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Xeon E3-1505M v6 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 MB, 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 v6 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 3000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 4000.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Xeon E3-1505M v6 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics P630. 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 Xeon E3-1505M v6 has the 253rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 26.53% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i7-8706G CPU

The Intel Core i7-8706G is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2018. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Kaby Lake-G microarchitecture. The i7-8706G is compatible with Intel BGA 2270 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon RX Vega M GL integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-8706G supports DDR4 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i7-8706G 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 Core i7-8706G 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 3.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.1 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 Core i7-8706G includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon RX Vega M GL. 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 Core i7-8706G has the 256th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 25.90% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
