The chips also includes the Intel HD Graphics 615 GPU, a dual-channel memory controller (DDR3L/LPDDR3) as well as VP9 and H.265 video de- and encoder. Thanks to Hyper Threading, the processor can execute up to four threads simultaneously. It was announced in Q2 2017 and offers two processor cores clocked at 1.6 GHz (no Turbo Boost). The Intel Pentium 4415Y is a low power entry level processor for small laptops or tablets and based on the Kaby Lake architecture.
Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y ► remove from comparison The manufacturer only reworked the Speed Shift technology for faster dynamic adjustments of voltages and clocks, and the improved 14nm process allows much higher frequencies combined with better efficiency than before. Intel basically uses the same micro architecture compared to Skylake, so the per-MHz performance does not differ. The similar Pentium Gold 4415U offers less Cache (2 versus 3 MB) and a slower GPU. Compare to the old i3-7100U, the newer i3-7020U is clocked 100 MHz lower (CPU cores) and therefore the current entry level model for the Core i3 line. It is manufactured in an improved 14nm FinFET process at Intel.
The SoC includes a dual channel DDR4 memory controller and Intel HD Graphics 620 graphics card (clocked at 300 - 1000 MHz). The architectural differences are rather small compared to the Skylake generation, therefore the performance per MHz should be very similar. It offers two CPU cores clocked at 2.3 GHz (without Turbo Boost) and integrates HyperThreading to work with up to 4 threads at once. The Intel Core i3-7020U is a dual-core processor of the Kaby Lake architecture. Intel Core i3-7020U ► remove from comparison The TDP is rated at 6 Watt and can be reduced to 4,5 Watt (cTDP down). The chip is manufactured in an improved 14 nm process with FinFET transistors, so the power efficiency was once again improved significantly. Modern games from 2016 will, if at all, only run smoothly in the lowest settings.Ĭontrary to Skylake, Kaby Lake now also supports hardware decoding for H.265/HEVC Main10 with a 10-bit color depth as well as Google's VP9 codec. The performance heavily depends on the TDP limit as well as the memory configuration with fast LPDDR3-1866 RAM in dual-channel mode, the GPU should sometimes be able to compete with the HD Graphics 520, but can also be much slower in other scenarios. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 615 GPU has 24 Execution Units (EUs) like the old HD Graphics 515 and runs with clocks between 300 and 850 MHz in combination with this processor. Compared to older CPUs, the Pentium Gold should match a Core i3-4100U (100 MHz higher clock speed but older architecture). This should be noticeable in daily tasks. Only the Speed-Shift technology for faster dynamic adjustments of the voltages and clocks was improved, and the matured 14 nm process now also enables much higher frequencies and better efficiency than before.ĭue to the missing Turbo Boost, the Pentium 4425Y offers a significantly worse single thread performance than the more expensive Core m3-7Y30. Intel basically used the familiar micro architecture from the Skylake generation, so the per-MHz performance is identical. Compared to the predecessor Pentium Gold 4415Y from 2017, the Pentium Gold 4425Y is clocked 100 MHz higher (the CPU cores). Compared to the much faster Core m3-7Y30, the Pentium 4425 offers no Turbo Boost, different CPU and GPU clock speeds, a smaller 元 cache and a higher TDP of 6 Watt. It is still produced in a 14 nm process with FinFET transistors. It was announced in Q1 2019 and offers two processor cores clocked at 1.7 GHz (no Turbo Boost). The Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y is a low power entry level processor for small laptops or tablets and based on the Kaby Lake architecture. Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y ► remove from comparison
