About the Intel Core i5-8265U CPU

The Intel Core i5-8265U is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2018 with a suggested retail price of $297. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Whiskey Lake microarchitecture. The i5-8265U is compatible with Intel BGA 1528 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 620 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-8265U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-8265U 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 6 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-8265U features 4 total cores which can process 8 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 3.9 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 i5-8265U includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 620. 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 i5-8265U has the 379th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 16.82% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 6,222 score and $297 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 20.95. This is the 156th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Celeron J4025 CPU

The Intel Celeron J4025 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2019 with a suggested retail price of $107. It is part of Intel's Celeron lineup, which is based on the Goldmont Plus microarchitecture. The J4025 is compatible with Intel BGA 1090 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 600 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Celeron J4025 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Celeron J4025 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 56 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Celeron J4025 features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.9 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
