About the Intel Core i3-4012Y CPU

The Intel Core i3-4012Y is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i3-4012Y is compatible with FCBGA1168 motherboards and is fabricated on a 22 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i3-4012Y has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 3 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i3-4012Y features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1500.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i3-4012Y does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i3-4012Y has the 598th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.84% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core M-5Y51 CPU

The Intel Core M-5Y51 is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2014. It is part of Intel's Core M lineup, which is based on the Broadwell-Y microarchitecture. The M-5Y51 is compatible with Intel BGA 1234 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 5300 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core M-5Y51 supports DDR4 memory. In terms of cache, the Core M-5Y51 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core M-5Y51 features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1100.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.6 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core M-5Y51 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 5300. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Core M-5Y51 has the 604th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.74% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
