About the Intel Core i5-8365U CPU

The Intel Core i5-8365U is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2019 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 i5-8365U 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 i5-8365U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-8365U 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 i5-8365U 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 4.1 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 i5-8365U 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 i5-8365U has the 371st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 17.29% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 6,395 score and $297 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 21.53. This is the 151st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen 3 2300U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 3 2300U is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2018. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 3 lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The 2300U is compatible with AMD Socket FP5 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Vega 6 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 3 2300U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 2300U 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 Ryzen 3 2300U 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 2000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3.4 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 Ryzen 3 2300U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Vega 6. 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 Ryzen 3 2300U has the 404th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 14.03% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
