Datasets for All Manufactured Intel Processors
Hello there! As a data scientist, here is my dataset project: Intel Processors. Thanks to these datasets altogether, one can realize how computers' central processing units have evolved within the last several decades, with regards to many features!
This repo contains the datasets that involve all processors from Core, Pentium, Celeron, Xeon, Xeon Phi, Itanium, Atom and Quark SoC series Intel has ever manufactured.
All these info in the datasets are obtained from Intel ARK website.
Now the datasets are being updated to version 1.6 to contain new features Threads, Lithography and TDP, and new processors launched until 1st Quarter of 2023, including 13th Generation Intel Core Processors!
Older datasets (such as v1.1 and some v1.2) will still exist and be moved to their specific folders for archive.
In the meantime, new comprehensive analyses are on the way to be published here with up-to-date information.
The latest version (1.6) of current datasets contain these features below:
Product: Name of the manufactured processorStatus: Indicates the current status of the processorRelease Date: Shows when the processor has been released to PC manufacturers or individual usersCores: The number of cores the processor hasThreads: The number of threads the processor hasLithography (nm): The number in nm, indicating the technology for the size of the features integrated on semi-conducting circuitMax. Turbo Freq. (GHz): The maximum clock speed the processor can reach, especially while on full load (in GHz)Base. Freq. (GHz): The base clock speed of the processor (in GHz)TDP (W): The value of Thermal Design Power in WattsCache (MB): The total cache capacity of the processor (in MB)Cache Info: Additional info about the cacheIntegrated Graphics: Shows the integrated graphic component used by the processor if exists
There are some assumptions for the preparation of these datasets. Please keep them in mind while inspecting them:
- For assessing
TDPof the processors, normally the base value is taken. If base value is not avaiable in the original spec sheet, but configurable TDP-up and TDP-down frequency values are given instead, the TDP-up value is taken. - For some processors having both performance and efficiency cores/threads together, their performance-core base frequency is considered in the
Base Freq., if the individual base frequency is not found in the spec sheet. - In
Integrated Graphicscolumn, the name for a few processors migh appear as 'Name Unknown'. This means the processors has integrated graphics, but its name was not indicated in the spec sheet of the original source.
There is only one data analyses available so far, about Intel Core Processors (done for v1.1) which was published more than 2 years ago. Anyway, you can click on the related notebook file (.ipynb) to see the details.
Hopefully, more analyses for the other types of processors will be included here!
In the last few generations, many Intel processors have letters (suffixes) that come after the numbers, indicating their specialties. This list below might help you understand the meanings of these letters:
| Suffix | Meaning |
|---|---|
| K | High-performance, unlocked |
| F | Requires discrete graphics |
| S | Special edition |
| T | Power-optimized lifestyle |
| X/XE | Highest performance, unlocked |
| HX | Highest performance, all SKUs unlocked |
| HK | High performance, unlocked |
| H | High performance |
| P | Performance for thin & light |
| U | Power efficient |
| Y | Extremely low-power efficient |
| G1-G7 | Graphics level (processors with newer integrated graphics technology) |
| E | Embedded |
| UE | Power efficient, embedded |
| HE | High performance, embedded |
| UL | Power efficient, in LGA package |
| HL | High performance, in LGA package |
I'm aware that this repo has been in silent for more than 2 years! In order to make it alive, all datasets are being updated to version 1.6 specifications described above.
After that, analyses will be performed in order to better understand the evolution of these processors, which is definitely in my wishlist!
Then, depending on the interest of this repo, more features might be included for detailed specs for any processors. And you may first try to find your processor here with necessary details...
