Pentium 3805U Details

Built on Intel's Broadwell-U microarchitecture and fabricated on a 14 nm process, the Pentium 3805U represents a mid-tier mobile processor from 2015. Despite its age—now over a decade old—this dual-core, two-thread CPU remains relevant in legacy systems or low-power devices where integrated graphics and power efficiency are priorities. Launched with a modest MSRP of $161, the Pentium 3805U was designed for mainstream mobile computing, offering a balance between performance and thermal constraints. Its 15 W TDP makes it ideal for thin and light laptops, and it is packaged in a BGA1168 form factor, meaning it is soldered directly to the motherboard and not user-replaceable.

The processor operates at a base frequency of 1.9 GHz, with a maximum turbo frequency of 2.8 GHz, providing a modest boost under load. With 2 MB of L3 cache and a dual-channel DDR3L/DDR3 memory interface, it supports up to 16 GB of memory at a rated speed of 1600 MT/s, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. While its 14 nm manufacturing process was advanced for its time, the lack of simultaneous multithreading and limited cache size restricts its ability to handle modern multitasking efficiently.

Integrated into the Pentium 3805U is Intel HD Graphics, which supports a maximum GPU frequency of 800 MHz and can drive up to three displays simultaneously. This makes it suitable for basic multimedia consumption and light creative work, though it falls short of handling modern gaming or GPU-intensive applications. The processor supports a range of Intel technologies, including AES-NI for encryption, AVX2 for vector processing, and virtualization features like VT-x and EPT, which enhance performance in virtualized environments.

Benchmarking reveals that the Pentium 3805U holds an overall score of 4241, placing it #1611 out of 2060 processors in the database. Its single-core performance scores 4193, ranking #1583, while its multicore score reaches 4313, placing it #1715. This indicates that the CPU performs better in single-threaded workloads than in multi-threaded ones, a trend common among older processors with limited core counts. It competes closely with other Intel Pentium and Celeron models from the same era, such as the Celeron 2957U and Pentium P6200, but trails behind more capable processors like the Core i7-2640M.

As of March 2026, the Pentium 3805U is best suited for basic office tasks, web browsing, and media playback in older or budget-oriented laptops. While it is no longer competitive in the modern computing landscape—especially when compared to top-tier processors like the Ryzen 9 9950X3D or Core Ultra 9 285K—it remains a functional option in devices where power efficiency and cost-effectiveness outweigh raw performance.
