About the Intel Core m3-7Y32 CPU

The Intel Core m3-7Y32 is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The m3-7Y32 is compatible with FCBGA1515 motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core m3-7Y32 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 m3-7Y32 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 3000.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core m3-7Y32 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 m3-7Y32 has the 540th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 7.43% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i5-5300U CPU

The Intel Core i5-5300U 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 i5-5300U is compatible with Intel BGA 1168 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 5500 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-5300U supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-5300U 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 i5-5300U 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 2.3 GHz, and it can boost up to 2.9 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 i5-5300U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 5500. 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 i5-5300U has the 491st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 9.30% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 3,439 score and $315 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 10.92. This is the 187th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
