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.
