Description of the processor

The Intel Core i5-8350U is a processor from the Intel Core i5 family. Its field of application is in the mobile sector, where it is mainly used in laptops, but also in some mini PCs. The Intel Core i5-8350U comes from the 8th generation of mobile i5 processors and has 4 processor cores.

The processor supports Hyperthreading technology, which means that the Intel Core i5-8350U has up to 8 computing threads available if required. The base clock frequency of the processor cores is 1.70 gigahertz and the maximum turbo clock when a single core is loaded is 3.60 gigahertz. When all 4 processor cores are fully loaded, the turbo clock is still 2.40 gigahertz. There is no way to overclock the processor.

The Intel UHD Graphics 620 is installed as the internal graphics unit in the mobile Intel Core i5-8350U. This graphics unit has a base clock of 300 megahertz, but the clock can increase to up to 1.10 gigahertz in turbo mode. With its 24 execution units and 192 shaders, the internal graphics achieve an FP32 computing power (single precision) of 422 GigaFLOPS. The Intel UHD Graphics 620 is manufactured with a structure width of 14 nanometers and can use up to 16 gigabytes of the built-in RAM as graphics memory.

The Intel Core i5-8350U supports the use of up to 32 gigabytes of DDR4-2400 RAM. The main memory is connected via 2 available memory channels and achieves a bandwidth of up to 38.4 gigabytes per second. Memory with automatic error correction (ECC memory) is not supported by the Intel Core i5-8350U.

The Intel Core i5-8350U was released in the third quarter of 2017. It is manufactured in a monolithic chip design and is based on the Kaby Lake U Refresh architecture.
