About the Intel Core i7-4550U CPU

The Intel Core i7-4550U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The i7-4550U is compatible with Intel BGA 1168 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the HD Graphics 5000 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-4550U supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4550U 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 i7-4550U 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, and it can boost up to 3.0 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 i7-4550U includes an integrated graphics solution called HD Graphics 5000. 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 i7-4550U has the 489th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 9.32% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i5-7Y57 CPU

The Intel Core i5-7Y57 is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i5-7Y57 is compatible with FCBGA1515 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i5-7Y57 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 i5-7Y57 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 1200.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3300.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-7Y57 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 i5-7Y57 has the 480th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 9.68% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
