Benchmarks

System setup

Below is a complete set of Intel Pentium 2020M and B960 benchmarks from our CPU benchmark database. The former processor was tested on Jetway NF9G motherboard with 16GB dual-channel Corsair Vengeance CMSX16GX3M2A1866C10 (DDR3-1866) memory, and Integrated on-chip Intel Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge graphics. The latter processor was tested on Supermicro X9SCV-Q motherboard, that had 2 GB dual-channel Crucial CT2KIT12864BC1339 DDR3-1333 SODIMM memory, and Integrated on-chip Intel Sandy Bridge graphics.

All tests were performed at default frequency and voltage, using manufacturer's stock fan/heatsink. None of the components were overclocked. Motherboard BIOS options were left at default settings.

The results of all benchmarks are broken into four categories: multi-threaded, single-threaded, memory intensive and graphics / gaming.


Pentium 2020M vs B960 single-threaded benchmarks

Single-threaded benchmarks run on a single CPU core, and do not depend on such features as the number of cores, or Hyper-Threading technology. Additionally, they do not utilize on-chip caches, dedicated to other cores.

Graphics benchmarks depend on the type of integrated or discrete graphics adapter, and to less extent on the processor performance. Because these benchmarks are synthetic, they may not truly represent gaming performance. However, they still can be used to estimate whether one processor will perform faster or slower than another CPU in games and other 3D tasks.

The table below compares support for x86 extensions and technologies, as well as individual instructions and low-level features of the Intel Pentium 2020M and Intel Pentium B960 microprocessors. Information in this table was retrieved from actual processors using CPUID instruction, and we also utilized internal timer to measure CPU frequency. Be aware that all technologies, disabled in BIOS or by a virtual machine, will be shown as not supported. Different steppings of Intel processors may also have slightly different features. In rare cases, measured frequency may differ from official specifications.
