Intel Core i5-4410E vs AMD Athlon II X2 250u

The Intel Core i5-4410E is a 2 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.90 GHz. The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The AMD Athlon II X2 250u clocks with 1.60 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 16 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core i5-4410E, while the AMD Athlon II X2 250u supports a maximum of 16 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 21.3 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core i5-4410E has a TDP of 37 W. The TDP of the AMD Athlon II X2 250u is 25 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core i5-4410E has 3.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 22 nm. The cache of AMD Athlon II X2 250u is at 2.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 45 nm.
