Intel® Pentium® 3550M

The Intel Pentium 3550M is a laptop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads, built on the Haswell architecture. It launched in Oct 2013. A 2-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.6 MB per core). Maximum addressable memory is 32 GB. The chip drops into the FCPGA946 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 37 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Pentium 3550M scores 1,187 in single-core performance and 1,339 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,261 for overall performance, 2,532 for productivity performance, 2,873 for creator performance, 1,247 for engineering performance and 3,896 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 670 per core, 670 per thread and 36 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 207. Its performance index is 16, so its overall performance is 84% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Pentium 3550M scores 4,710 in integer math, 3,626 in floating-point math, 22,493 in compression, 287 in cryptography, 150 in physics simulation, 878 in vector SIMD, 11 in the prime sieve and 2,757 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 92% below in integer math, 92% below in floating-point math, 90% below in compression, 97% below in cryptography, 86% below in physics simulation, 94% below in vector SIMD, 84% below in the prime sieve and 88% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Pentium 3550M has 2 physical cores and runs 2 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.30 GHz.

The Intel Pentium 3550M is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Pentium family, uses the Haswell architecture, carries the codename Haswell and is manufactured on a 22 nm process. It launched in Oct 2013.

The Intel Pentium 3550M has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 2 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 3.3 MB of cache, or 1.63 MB per core.

The Intel Pentium 3550M has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 2 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 62% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Pentium 3550M addresses up to 32 GB of memory and uses 2 memory channels.

The Intel Pentium 3550M includes integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics for 4th Generation Intel Processors) and clocks the graphics up to 1.10 GHz.

The Intel Pentium 3550M uses the FCPGA946 socket, supports PCI Express 2.0 and provides up to 16 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Pentium 3550M has a rated TDP of 37 W.
