Intel Core2 Duo T5550 vs Intel Atom C3858

The Intel Core2 Duo T5550 is a 2 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.83 GHz. The processor can compute 2 threads at the same time. The Intel Atom C3858 clocks with 2.00 GHz, has 12 CPU cores and can calculate 12 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 0 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core2 Duo T5550, while the Intel Atom C3858 supports a maximum of 256 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core2 Duo T5550 has a TDP of 35 W. The TDP of the Intel Atom C3858 is 25 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core2 Duo T5550 has 2.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 65 nm. The cache of Intel Atom C3858 is at 12.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
