Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 vs Intel Celeron N4505 vs Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 is an entry level dual core processor for laptops. It is based on the Penryn core but offers only 2 MB level 2 cache and a slow clock rate of 2.1 GHz. Compared to the Core 2 Duo T6570, the T6500 does not offer Virtualization VT-x and is therefore aimed at consumer notebooks.
The performance should be suited for non demanding applications like office, internet, entry level video editing or image correction. CPU intense games may be limited by the power of the T6500.
Intel Celeron N4505
► remove from comparison
The Intel Celeron N4505 is a dual-core SoC of the Jasper Lake series that is primarily intended for inexpensive and small desktops and was announced in early 2021. The two Tremont CPU cores clock between 2 and 2.9 GHz (single core Burst) and offer no HyperThreading (SMT). The N4505 uses 1.5 MB L2 and 4 MB L3 cache. The chip is built with Intel's first-gen 10 nm process, just like Ice Lake family processors.
CPU Architecture
The processor architecture is called Tremont and a complete redesign compared to the old Golmont Plus cores in the predecessor. According to Intel, the single thread performance of a core could be improved by 30% on average (10 - 80% in all tests of SPECint and SPECfp).
Features
In addition to the dual-core CPU block, the SoC integrates a 16 EU Intel UHD Graphics GPU clocked from 450 - 750 MHz and a LPDDR4(x) dual channel memory controller (up to 16 GB and 2933 MHz). The chip now also partly integrates Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), 8 PCIe 3.0 lanes, 14 USB 2.0/ 3.2 ports and two SATA 6.0 ports. The package got bigger and measures 35 x 24 mm (compared to 25 x 24 mm for the N5030 e.g.). The SoC is directly soldered to the mainboard (BGA) and can't be easily replaced.
Performance
The average N4505 in our database is just as fast as AMD's dual-core Athlon Silver 3050e and Intel's previous-gen Celeron N4100, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. In other words, the Celeron is good for basic day-to-day activities but not much more than that, as of mid 2022.
Power consumption
This Celeron series SoC has a default TDP, also known as the long-term Power Limit, of 10 W, which is low enough to allow for passively cooled designs.
The N4505 is manufactured on the first-gen or the second-gen (no exact data available) 10 nm Intel process making for average, as of late 2022, energy efficiency.
Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400
► remove from comparison
The Core 2 Duo SL9400 is a power saving low voltage CPU for thin and light laptops. It offers a good performance for the 1.86 GHz clock rate, as it features the full 6 MB level 2 cache of the used Penryn core.
