We all know that Gemini Lake processors will succeed Apollo Lake family, we have a good idea of the supported features. and even know that Intel is expecting 10 to 15% CPU integer performance improvement between the two generations. I’ve now been informed that an Intel Gemini Lake notebook powered by Intel Pentium “Silver” N5000 quad core processor clocked at 1.09 GHz was spotted in SiSoftware Sandra benchmark database.

If we compare those results to the ones for Intel Pentium N4200 Apollo Lake processor with the same 1.1 GHz base frequency, we can indeed see some progress, and the results, albeit early, are quite encouraging, except for the GPU part with similar results.
Intel Pentium N5000 | Intel Pentium N4200 | Delta | |
Processor Arithmetic | 31.11 GOPS | 21.42 GOPS | 1.45x |
Processor Multi-Media | 44.65 MPix/s | 41.38 MPix/s | 1.08x |
.NET Arithmetic | 11.5 GOPS | 7.31 GOPS | 1.57x |
Processor Crypto | 2.8 GB/s | 1.41 GB/s | 1.99x |
It’s quite possible to turbo frequency is higher in the Gemini Lake processor, but I could not find any details about this yet.
