Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 12,808 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 4,076 single-thread result adds context for less-parallel work. Compare the nearby alternatives on this page and do not treat one score as a verdict for every application.

Platform and compatibility

No confirmed socket is recorded for this processor. Verify the exact device or motherboard with the manufacturer before planning an upgrade.

Memory and power

The 8 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.

FAQ

Common processor questions
