Intel® Pentium® J2900

The Intel Pentium J2900 is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Bay Trail architecture. It launched in Oct 2013. 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). It addresses DDR3L memory up to 8 GB across 2 channels. 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 J2900 scores 727 in single-core performance and 1,255 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 955 for overall performance, 1,834 for productivity performance, 1,999 for creator performance, 1,208 for engineering performance and 2,495 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 314 per core, 314 per thread and 126 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 302. Its performance index is 12, so its overall performance is 88% 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 J2900 scores 7,741 in integer math, 1,814 in floating-point math, 32,905 in compression, 342 in cryptography, 132 in physics simulation, 490 in vector SIMD, 5 in the prime sieve and 4,472 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 87% below in integer math, 96% below in floating-point math, 86% below in compression, 97% below in cryptography, 88% below in physics simulation, 97% below in vector SIMD, 93% below in the prime sieve and 80% 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 J2900 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 J2900 is a desktop 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 Oct 2013.

The Intel Pentium J2900 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 J2900 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 J2900 supports DDR3L memory, addresses up to 8 GB of memory, uses 2 memory channels and runs memory at up to 1,333 MT/s. It does not support DDR5, DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Pentium J2900 includes integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics for Intel Atom Processor Z3700 Series) and clocks the graphics up to 0.90 GHz.

The Intel Pentium J2900 uses the FCBGA1170 socket, supports PCI Express 2.0 and provides up to 4 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Pentium J2900 has a rated TDP of 10 W.
