About the Intel Pentium Silver N6000 CPU

The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2021. It is part of Intel's Pentium Silver lineup, which is based on the Tremont microarchitecture. The Silver N6000 is compatible with Intel BGA 1338 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 32EU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Pentium Silver N6000 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Pentium Silver N6000 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 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 N6000 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 3.3 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 Pentium Silver N6000 includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 32EU. 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 N6000 has the 527th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 768 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 9.31% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X.
