Intel Pentium Silver J5005

The Intel Pentium Silver J5005 is a quad-core SoC that was introduced at the end of 2017 and is mainly used in inexpensive mini PCs. It clocks from 1.5 to 2.8 GHz (single-core burst) and belongs to the Gemini Lake platform. In addition to the four CPU cores, the chip also integrates a DirectX 12-capable graphics unit and a DDR4/LPDDR4 memory controller (dual channel, 2,400 MHz). The SoC cannot be replaced as it is soldered directly to the mainboard (BGA package).
Architecture
The processor architecture of the Gemini Lake SoCs has been slightly enhanced compared to its predecessor. Intel now calls them Goldmont Plus cores and doubles the level 2 cache from 2 to 4 MB. Nevertheless, the per-MHz performance should still remain well behind the current Kaby Lake processors.
Performance
The CPU performance of the J5005 with 4 CPU cores is only in the entry-level class and is only sufficient for undemanding tasks. Even when surfing the web, you notice a clear difference to faster processors.
Power consumption
Like its predecessor, the entire SoC is specified by Intel with a TDP of 10 watts.
