Intel Core 5 120U
The Core 5 120U is a 10 core CPU from Intel released in 2024. This chip has a very good overall score with 4342 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is a very good processor for gaming, with a score of 7190 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Core 5 120U scores 3534 points and 3381 points respectively. Indeed, this is a good rating for very heavy workloads.
The Core 5 120U has 10 cores and 12 threads. This CPU makes use of simultaneous multithreading technology to improve performance on parallel tasks. Each physical CPU core is divided into multiple logical processors. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 1.4 GHz.
As for memory, the Core 5 120U makes use of DDR5-5200 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. It can accommodate a maximum of 96 GiB of memory. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 2 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled. Error correcting memory is not supported on this processor.
In terms of cache, the Core 5 120U has 6 MiB of level 2 cache and 12 MiB of level 3 cache. This is a fast memory located close to the processor, which stores copies of frequently used data from main memory.
It has a total of 20 PCIe lanes.
