AMD FX-8120 vs Intel Celeron E3200

The AMD FX-8120 is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.10 GHz (4.00 GHz). The processor can compute 8 threads at the same time. The Intel Celeron E3200 clocks with 2.40 GHz, has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 2 threads in parallel.

Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD FX-8120, while the Intel Celeron E3200 supports a maximum of 16 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 17.1 GB/s enabled.

The AMD FX-8120 has a TDP of 95 W. The TDP of the Intel Celeron E3200 is 65 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD FX-8120 has 8.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 32 nm. The cache of Intel Celeron E3200 is at 1.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 45 nm.
