Intel Celeron 6305 vs Intel Pentium Gold 7505

Intel Celeron 6305

The Intel Celeron 6305 (or 6305U) is a power efficient dual-core SoC for laptops and Ultrabooks based on the Tiger Lake-U generation that was announced in the third quarter of 2020. It integrates only two Willow Cove processor cores (2 threads - no Hyper-Threading/SMT). The clock speed is set at 1.8 GHz as the chip does not support Turbo Boost.

Performance

The average 6305 in our database is in the same league as the Celeron N4505, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. This is a very poor result, as of late 2022.

Your mileage may vary depending on how high the CPU power limits are.

Another novelty is the integrated Xe graphics фвфзеук based on the completely new Gen 12 architecture. It should offer a significantly higher performance compared to the older UHD Graphics G1 (Ice Lake). In the 6305U Intel calls it just UHD Graphics and it offers 48 EUs.

Other improvements from Ice Lake should be also integrated in Tiger Lake like the AI hardware acceleration and the partial integration of Thunderbolt and Wifi 6 in the chip.

The chip is produced on the improved 10nm+ process (called 10 nm SuperFin) at Intel that should be comparable to the 7nm process at TSMC (e.g. Ryzen 4000 series).

Intel Pentium Gold 7505

The Intel Pentium Gold 7505 is a power-efficient dual-core SoC for laptops and Ultrabooks based on the Tiger Lake-U generation that was announced in the third quarter of 2020. Unlike many other TGL-UP3 processors, the Pentium features an Infrastructure Processing Unit (Intel IPU). It integrates two Willow Cove processor cores (4 threads thanks to HyperThreading) clocked at 2 - 3.5 GHz (at 15 Watt TDP).

Another novelty is the integrated Xe graphics adapter based on the completely new Gen 12 architecture. It should offer a significantly higher performance compared to the older UHD Graphics G1 (Ice Lake).

Other improvements from Ice Lake are also integrated in Tiger Lake like the AI hardware acceleration and the partial integration of Thunderbolt and WiFi 6 in the chip.

Performance

The average 7505 in our database lags just slightly behind the N95, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. In other words, this is an entry-level chip that's good enough for basic day-to-day activities only, as of late 2022.

Power consumption

This Pentium series chip has a default TDP (also known as the long-term power limit) of 15 W. Which is a tad too high to allow for passively cooled designs.

The Intel Pentium 7505 is built with Intel's 3rd generation 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin for low, as of mid 2023, energy efficiency.
