About the Intel Core i5-5250U CPU
The Intel Core i5-5250U is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2015 with a suggested retail price of $315. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Broadwell-U microarchitecture. The i5-5250U is compatible with Intel BGA 1168 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 6000 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Core i5-5250U supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-5250U 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 i5-5250U 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 1600.0 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 i5-5250U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 6000. 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 & Value
The Core i5-5250U has the 480th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 9.70% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 3,586.5 score and $315 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 11.39. This is the 185th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
About the AMD A10-5757M CPU
The AMD A10-5757M is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of AMD's A10 lineup, which is based on the Richland microarchitecture. The A10-5757M is compatible with AMD Socket FP2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 8650G integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The A10-5757M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A10-5757M 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 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The A10-5757M features 4 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 2.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.5 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.
