About the Intel Core i5-4210U CPU
The Intel Core i5-4210U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2014. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The i5-4210U is compatible with Intel BGA 1168 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4400 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Core i5-4210U supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i5-4210U 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 3 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i5-4210U 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 1700.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.7 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 i5-4210U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 4400. 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 i5-4210U has the 512th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 8.60% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
About the Intel Core m3-7Y30 CPU
The Intel Core m3-7Y30 is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The m3-7Y30 is compatible with FCBGA1515 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Core m3-7Y30 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 4 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core m3-7Y30 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 1000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2600.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
Integrated Graphics
The Core m3-7Y30 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 m3-7Y30 has the 479th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 9.77% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
