Intel® Pentium® G6950

The Intel Pentium G6950 is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads. It launched in Jan 2010. A 3-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It supports DDR3 memory. It uses the FCLGA1156 socket. Rated TDP is 73 W.

The Intel Pentium G6950 scores 1,127 in single-core performance and 1,265 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,194 for overall performance, 2,400 for productivity performance, 2,724 for creator performance, 1,178 for engineering performance and 3,697 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 633 per core, 633 per thread and 17 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 140. Its performance index is 15, so its overall performance is 85% 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 G6950 scores 4,748 in integer math, 3,075 in floating-point math, 22,877 in compression, 276 in cryptography, 128 in physics simulation, 805 in vector SIMD, 8 in the prime sieve and 3,067 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 92% below in integer math, 93% below in floating-point math, 90% below in compression, 98% below in cryptography, 88% below in physics simulation, 95% below in vector SIMD, 88% below in the prime sieve and 86% 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 G6950 has 2 physical cores and runs 2 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.80 GHz.

The Intel Pentium G6950 is a desktop processor and belongs to the Intel Pentium family. It launched in Jan 2010.

The Intel Pentium G6950 has 128 KB of L1 cache, 512 KB of L2 cache and 3 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 3.6 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Pentium G6950 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 128 KB, L2 at 512 KB and L3 at 3 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Pentium G6950 supports DDR3 memory and runs memory at up to 1,066 MT/s. It does not support DDR5, DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Pentium G6950 uses the FCLGA1156 socket.

The Intel Pentium G6950 has a rated TDP of 73 W.
