Processing cores and threading
The Intel Pentium M 760 features 1 physical cores and 1 threads, which directly impacts multi-threaded performance in CPU benchmarks. More cores allow the processor to handle parallel workloads efficiently, improving performance in video editing, 3D rendering, and multitasking scenarios. Thread count determines how many simultaneous tasks the CPU can process, with higher thread counts benefiting productivity applications and content creation workflows.
Pentium M 760 Clock Speeds
Base and boost frequencies
Clock speed is a critical factor in Pentium M 760 benchmark performance, measured in GHz. The base clock represents the guaranteed operating frequency, while the boost clock indicates maximum single-core performance under optimal conditions. Higher clock speeds translate to faster single-threaded performance, which is essential for gaming and applications that don't fully utilize multiple cores. The Pentium M 760 by Intel can dynamically adjust its frequency based on workload and thermal headroom.
Intel's Pentium M 760 Cache Hierarchy
L1, L2, L3 cache sizes
Cache memory is ultra-fast storage built directly into the Pentium M 760 processor die. L1 cache provides the fastest access for frequently used data, while L2 and L3 caches offer progressively larger storage with slightly higher latency. Larger cache sizes significantly improve CPU benchmark scores by reducing memory access times. The Pentium M 760's cache configuration is optimized for both gaming performance and productivity workloads, minimizing data fetch delays during intensive computations.

About Intel Pentium M 760
The Intel Pentium M 760 is a mobile processor in Intel's Pentium M line, built around the Dothan architecture. The record lists one core and one thread, a 2000.00 MHz base clock, no boost clock, and a 27 W TDP. It uses a 90 nm process with 144 million transistors on an 87 mm² die, with 32 KB of L1 cache and 2 MB of L2 cache. The dataset includes no benchmark records and no nearest-rival entries, so this analysis rests on the listed specifications and the two aggregate fields: a 50th-percentile rank and an average benchmark score of 0.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals list is empty for the Pentium M 760. There are no rival names, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values available to cite. As a result, per-rival comparison paragraphs cannot be constructed from the supplied data. The only positional field is percentileVsAllCpus, which is 50. That places the processor at the midpoint of the database's CPU distribution, but because the benchmarks array is empty and the average benchmark score is 0, the percentile is not accompanied by measured workload results. Without named rivals, the relative performance picture is incomplete; the database does not indicate which processors sit near this part, nor by how much they differ.
Who Should Consider It
The data describes a single-core, single-thread mobile processor. Any workload that can run in one serial thread is the only type this CPU can address directly. The 2000.00 MHz base clock and 2 MB L2 cache are the only frequency and cache resources listed; there is no boost clock to provide temporary headroom. For creation workloads that scale across threads, the one-thread design is a hard limitation. The dataset does not include gaming, creation, or office benchmark scores, so suitability for those tasks cannot be quantified. The processor is best considered by someone maintaining a legacy Socket 479 mobile system with DDR2 memory support, because the production status is end-of-life and the market segment is mobile. No other socket-compatible processors are named in the data, so the database cannot show a larger family of upgrade options.
Power and Thermals
The listed TDP is 27 W. This is the only power figure in the record, and it defines the thermal class. No boost clock is present, so there is no listed higher-frequency state that would raise power consumption above the base operating point. The process node is 90 nm, and the transistors are placed on an 87 mm² die. Because the market segment is mobile, the 27 W TDP points toward a cooling solution sized for portable systems rather than a desktop-class setup. The dataset does not list a cooler or thermal solution, so the 27 W figure is the sole quantitative basis for thermal planning.

Benchmark Performance
The benchmark section of this record is limited by an empty benchmarks array. The average benchmark score is 0, and the percentileVsAllCpus field is 50. There are no nearestRivals entries and therefore no deltaPct values, which means exact percentage comparisons against named alternatives cannot be produced. The 0 average score appears without supporting benchmark data, so it cannot be treated as a measured competitive result. The architecture does indicate a single-thread-oriented part: one core, one thread, a 2000.00 MHz base clock, and 2 MB of L2 cache. The database does not provide a score to confirm how those specifications translate into real workload performance. Memory bandwidth is also absent from the record, so the memory side of benchmark behavior cannot be compared.
Platform and Compatibility
The processor uses Intel Socket 479. Memory support is DDR2, but no memory bus clock or memory bandwidth is listed, and ECC memory is not supported. The PCIe field is null, so the record provides no PCIe version or lane count. Integrated graphics are described as a chipset feature on certain motherboards, meaning display output depends on the motherboard rather than the CPU. The part number is SL7SQ, and the multiplierUnlocked field is false. Production status is end-of-life, with a release date of 2005-01-18. The upgrade path is therefore tied to legacy Socket 479 boards and DDR2 memory. The fact pack does not list compatible alternative processors, so upward or sideways upgrade options are not documented in this record.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
The core count is 1, and the thread count is 1. This means the processor can execute only one thread at a time. There is no second core to absorb parallel work and no second thread to share execution resources. For single-threaded code, the relevant resources are the 2000.00 MHz base clock and the 2 MB L2 cache. There is no boost clock listed, so the processor lacks a second, higher-frequency state for short single-thread bursts. For multi-threaded workloads, the expected behavior is serialization: multiple threads must contend for the same execution resource. The 2 MB L2 cache can keep a working set close to the core, but it does not change the one-thread execution limit. The only aggregate rank is the 50th percentile, and the record does not split that rank into single-thread and multi-thread subscores. In this design, all work is effectively single-threaded by construction.
