Intel® Pentium® A1020

The Intel Pentium A1020 is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Bay Trail architecture. It launched in Jan 2016. Clocks run from 2.41 GHz base to 2.7 GHz boost. A 2-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.1 MB per core). Maximum addressable memory is 8 GB. The chip drops into the FCBGA1170 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (4 lanes). Rated TDP is 10 W. Notable platform capabilities: VT-x (Hardware Virtualization).

The Intel Pentium A1020 scores 699 in single-core performance and 1,167 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 903 for overall performance, 1,737 for productivity performance, 1,900 for creator performance, 1,123 for engineering performance and 2,389 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 292 per core, 292 per thread and 117 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 286. Its performance index is 11, so its overall performance is 89% 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 A1020 scores 6,880 in integer math, 1,558 in floating-point math, 28,454 in compression, 322 in cryptography, 109 in physics simulation, 469 in vector SIMD, 4 in the prime sieve and 4,135 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 88% below in integer math, 97% below in floating-point math, 88% below in compression, 97% below in cryptography, 90% below in physics simulation, 97% below in vector SIMD, 94% below in the prime sieve and 82% 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 A1020 has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.41 GHz and boosts up to 2.70 GHz.

The Intel Pentium A1020 is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Pentium family, uses the Bay Trail architecture, carries the codename Bay Trail and is manufactured on a 22 nm process. It launched in Jan 2016.

The Intel Pentium A1020 has 224 KB of L1 cache, 2 MB of L2 cache and 2 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 4.2 MB of cache, or 1.05 MB per core.

The Intel Pentium A1020 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 224 KB, L2 at 2 MB and L3 at 2 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 47% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Pentium A1020 addresses up to 8 GB of memory and uses 2 memory channels.

The Intel Pentium A1020 includes integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics for Intel Atom Processor Z3700 Series).

The Intel Pentium A1020 uses the FCBGA1170 socket, supports PCI Express 2.0 and provides up to 4 PCIe lanes.
