Intel Pentium B960 vs Intel Pentium P6300: comparison

Comparison of Intel Pentium B960 and Intel Pentium P6300: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Pentium B960 has a higher maximum memory size (16 GB vs 8 GB) and a higher maximum integrated graphics clock (1.1 GHz vs 667 MHz).

At the same time, Intel Pentium P6300 has a higher base clock (2.27 GHz vs 2.2 GHz) and a larger L3 cache (3 MB vs 2 MB).

Both processors match on: core count (2), thread count (2), TDP (35 W), process node (32 nm), memory channels (2), PCIe version (2).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
