Intel® Pentium® Silver N6000

The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Jasper Lake architecture. It launched in Jan 2021. Clocks run from 1.1 GHz base to 3.0 GHz boost. A 4-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.2 MB per core). It addresses DDR4, LPDDR4X memory up to 16 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1338 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (8 lanes). Rated TDP is 6 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 scores 1,337 in single-core performance and 2,908 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,972 for overall performance, 3,762 for productivity performance, 4,006 for creator performance, 2,799 for engineering performance and 4,738 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 727 per core, 727 per thread and 485 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 805. Its performance index is 24, so its overall performance is 76% 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 Silver N6000 scores 10,852 in integer math, 6,426 in floating-point math, 35,988 in compression, 2,155 in cryptography, 217 in physics simulation, 1,038 in vector SIMD, 11 in the prime sieve and 4,914 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 82% below in integer math, 86% below in floating-point math, 84% below in compression, 81% below in cryptography, 80% below in physics simulation, 93% below in vector SIMD, 84% below in the prime sieve and 78% 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 Silver N6000 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 1.10 GHz and boosts up to 3.00 GHz.

The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Pentium Silver family, uses the Jasper Lake architecture, carries the codename Jasper Lake and is manufactured on a 10 nm process. It launched in Jan 2021.

The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 has 256 KB of L1 cache, 384 KB of L2 cache and 4 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 4.6 MB of cache, or 1.16 MB per core.

The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 384 KB and L3 at 4 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 86% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 supports DDR4, LPDDR4X memory, addresses up to 16 GB of memory, uses 2 memory channels and runs memory at up to 2,933 MT/s. It does not support DDR5 memory.

The Intel Pentium Silver N6000 includes integrated graphics (Intel UHD Graphics) and clocks the graphics up to 0.85 GHz.
