Intel Pentium 2020M

The Pentium 2020M is a 2 core CPU from Intel released in 2012. This chip has a bad overall score with 766 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is an average processor for gaming, with a score of 1683 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Pentium 2020M scores 544 points and 523 points respectively. Indeed, this is a bad rating for very heavy workloads.

The Pentium 2020M has 2 cores and 2 threads. This chip has no simultaneous multithreading support, as it has the same number of cores as threads. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 2.4 GHz.

As for memory, the Pentium 2020M makes use of DDR3-1333 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 32 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.

This CPU has fast connectivity with support for PCI-Express Gen 2. The faster the PCIe link, the better. This allows for better performance with GPUs and NVME SSDs. It has a total of 16 PCIe lanes.

Power and thermals for the Intel Pentium 2020M CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 35 watts. This measures the amount of heat the processor produces when running at full load. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
