Pentium SU4100 Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Pentium SU4100 stands as a relic of a bygone era in mobile computing, having been released in September 2009. Built on the Penryn microarchitecture and fabricated on a 45 nm process, this dual-core mobile processor was designed for energy-efficient performance in laptops. With a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost to 1.3 GHz, it reflects the performance expectations of its time, where clock speeds were modest and thermal constraints were a primary design consideration. Its 10 W TDP underscores its focus on low power consumption, making it suitable for lightweight notebooks and netbooks rather than demanding applications.

The Pentium SU4100 features 2 MB of L2 cache and supports DDR3 memory, which was a step forward from earlier DDR2 standards at the time. It lacks integrated graphics in its standard configuration, though some motherboard variants include chipset-level graphics. The processor supports a range of Intel instruction sets, including MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3, but notably lacks SSE4 support, which limits its compatibility with modern software and games. Despite these limitations, it includes features like Enhanced SpeedStep Technology (EIST) for dynamic frequency scaling, contributing to its energy efficiency.

In benchmark testing, the Pentium SU4100 scores 3,957 overall, placing it at #1924 out of 2,060 processors. Its single-core performance scores 3,755 (#1918), while its multicore score reaches 4,261 (#1871). These results place it behind several modern low-power processors, including the Atom N450 and Celeron N3060, which achieve similar or better performance despite being newer. The processor is outperformed by nearly every contemporary CPU, even budget models like the Celeron N3450 and A4-6210. Its multicore performance is particularly weak compared to its peers, suggesting that the single-threaded performance is its primary strength, albeit still limited.

Given its age and performance level, the Pentium SU4100 is not suitable for modern computing tasks. It may still function in basic environments such as web browsing, office applications, or media playback on older systems, but it struggles with multitasking, content creation, or gaming. The lack of modern instruction sets and limited cache hierarchy further restricts its capabilities. In today’s landscape, where high-core-count processors and advanced architectural features dominate, the SU4100 serves more as a historical artifact than a practical solution.

In conclusion, the Intel Pentium SU4100 is a product of its time—efficient, low-power, and adequate for basic use cases in 2009. However, as of 2026, it falls far behind in both single-core and multicore performance compared to even the most modest modern processors. It is best suited for legacy systems or educational purposes, where understanding historical hardware is more valuable than raw performance.
