Intel Pentium Silver J5040 vs Intel Celeron N5095A
Intel Pentium Silver J5040
Der Intel Pentium Silver J5040 ist ein Ende 2019 vorgestellter Quad-Core-SoC, der hauptsächlich in preiswerten Mini-PCs verbaut wird. Er taktet mit 2 bis 3,2 GHz (Einzelkern Burst) und gehört der Gemini-Lake-Plattform an (2019 Refresh). Die Fertigung erfolgt wie beim Vorgänger Apollo Lake in einem 14-Nanometer-Prozesses mit FinFETs. Neben den vier CPU-Kernen integriert der Chip auch eine DirectX-12-fähige Grafikeinheit sowie einen DDR4/LPDDR4-Speichercontroller (Dual-Channel, 2.400 MHz). Der SoC kann nicht ausgetauscht werden, da er direkt mit dem Mainboard verlötet wird (BGA Package).
Im Vergleich zum Vorgänger wurde der Burst-Takt deutlich erhöht. Weiterhin integriert der Chip teilweise WLAN und kann per Wireless-AC9560 mit Companion Module platzsparend mit WLAN ausgestattet werden.
Durch die höhere Taktrate und den höheren TDP ist der Pentium Silver J5040 etwas schneller als die mobile Variante Pentium Silver N5030. Im Vergleich mit AMD, kann sich der J5040 knapp gegen den Zen basierten Dual Core Athlon Silver 3050e (schneller in Single-Thread, etwas langsamer bei Multi-Thread Tests). Ein Intel Core i3 aus 2019 (wie der i3-1005G1) ist in allen Tests deutlich schneller.
Architektur
Die Prozessor-Architektur der Gemini Lake SoCs wurde im Vergleich zum Vorgänger leicht weiterentwickelt. Intel nennt sie nun Goldmont Plus Kerne und verdoppelt den Level 2 Cache von 2 auf 4 MB. Trotzdem sollte die Pro-MHz-Leistung noch deutlich hinter den aktuellen Kaby-Lake Prozessoren bleiben. Beim Gemini-Lake-Refresh wurde hier nichts geändert.
Grafik
Die integrierte UHD Graphics 605 unterscheidet sich nur durch die verbesserten Displayanschlüsse von der HD Graphics 505.
Weiterhin integriert der Chip eine fortschrittliche Videoeinheit, die auch die hardwarebeschleunigte Wiedergabe von VP9- und H.265-Material (8 Bit Farbtiefe) beherrscht.
Leistungsaufnahme
Der gesamte SoC wird von Intel wie der Vorgänger mit einer TDP von 10 Watt spezifiziert und damit etwas höher also die mobile Variante Pentium N5030.
Intel Celeron N5095A
► remove from comparison
The Celeron N5095A is an inexpensive quad-core SoC of the Jasper Lake product family designed for use in affordable SFF desktops and laptops. It features four Tremont CPU cores running at 2 GHz that Boost to up to 2.9 GHz with no thread-doubling Hyper-Threading technology in sight. A pretty basic iGPU is present as well.
The only difference between the N5095A and the N5095 is that the former comes with support for more proprietary Intel technologies such as the Smart Sound DSP, Wake on Voice and HD Audio.
Architecture and Features
Tremont brings many improvements over Goldmont Plus, the architecture that we know from the N5030 and myriads of other N-class CPUs. An up to 30% boost in single-thread performance is to be expected thanks to smarter prefetchers, branch prediction improvements and other refinements, according to Intel. These new chips are physically larger than their immediate predecessors as a result. Either way, this is still a "small" core rather than a "big" one according to ChipsAndCheese.
The Celeron has 1.5 MB of L2 and 4 MB of L3 cache and is compatible with DDR4-2933 and LPDDR4x-2933 memory or slower. Support for Intel CNVi Wi-Fi 6 modules is baked into the chip, as are 8 PCIe 3.0 lanes for NVMe SSD speeds up to 3.9 GB/s. USB 4 or Thunderbolt aren't supported however.
Please also note that the Celeron gets soldered to the motherboard (BGA1338 socket interface) for good and is thus not user-replaceable.
Performance
While we haven't tested a single system featuring the N5095A as of Sep 2024, we have done several reviews of computers/laptops powered by the N5095. CPU performance should be pretty much identical between the two. Therefore, we fully expect the chip to be about as fast as the Core i3-10110U, Core i3-1005G1, Celeron N5105 and also the Ryzen 3 3200U in multi-threaded workloads. Which is just enough for the most basic of tasks in late 2024.
Performance will get a significant hit if the power target is set to 10 W or 6 W instead of the Intel-recommended 15 W value.
Graphics
The DirectX 12.1-capable 16 EU UHD Graphics runs at up to 750 MHz and is in many respects similar to what Ice Lake CPUs come equipped with. This graphics adapter is capable of driving up to 3 SUHD displays simultaneously; HEVC, AVC, VP9, MPEG-2 and other popular video codecs can all be hardware-decoded. AV1 and VVC can't.
As far as gaming is concerned, it is reasonable to expect playable framerates in really old games (like Dota 2 Reborn) provided one sticks to lower resolutions such as HD 720p.
Power consumption
While most N-class chips have a 6 W long-term power target, the Celeron N5095A has a 15 W TDP to mimic much faster U-class Core processors. This isn't a great CPU for passively cooled designs.
The N5095A is built with the same 10 nm Intel process as Ice Lake-U processors for pretty unimpressive power efficiency, as of late 2024.
