Model
CPU Model – an encoded designation of the processor’s specifications. Higher numbers indicate a more powerful chip. The final letter shows special features: for example, U stands for low power consumption, H for high-performance graphics.
-
Cores
Number of Cores — the number of physical processing units within a processor. A minimum of two cores can handle basic tasks, while more cores boost overall performance, enabling faster and smoother operation of applications and games.
-
Threads
Number of threads — the maximum number of data streams a processor can handle simultaneously. A higher thread count allows the CPU to process resource-intensive applications faster and more smoothly.
-
Base frequency, GHz
Base Frequency — the number of instructions a processor can execute per second under light workloads, without boosting its frequency or generating additional heat. A higher base frequency means faster task execution.
-
Max frequency, GHz
Max Frequency — the highest clock speed a processor can reach under heavy computational loads, such as running resource-intensive software or AAA games. Higher frequencies result in increased power consumption.
-
Cache L3, MB
Cache (MB) — the processor’s internal memory that speeds up the handling of frequently used data by reducing the need to access slower system RAM. Cache sizes can reach dozens of megabytes, and the larger the cache, the higher the overall performance.
