Intel Core 5 processor 221E
Benchmarks & Specs

The Intel Core 5 processor 221E is based on the efficient architecture called Bartlett Lake. With this foundation, the chip offers a solid basis for many everyday office applications. During our tests, we noticed how stable the entire platform actually works in continuous operation. This processor is manufactured using the proven 10 nm process directly at the manufacturer Intel.

A key feature for modern systems is the support for the fast PCIe 5.0 standard. This allows suitable expansion cards to be connected directly to the system without major bottlenecks. The Intel Core 5 processor 221E has a generous L3 cache of 24 MB in total. This buffer helps to speed up data access and improve general system response.

The maximum memory bandwidth is 90 GB/s, which is completely sufficient for most tasks. An integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730 also ensures decent image output without an additional card. We like that Intel offers a balanced mix of efficiency and performance here. The model is aimed more at users who value reliability and modern interfaces.

Those who do not have extreme gaming demands will be very satisfied with the performance offered in everyday life. The overall architecture clearly shows its strengths in daily use. Especially in multitasking scenarios, you notice the advantages of the large L3 cache quite clearly. The Intel Core 5 processor 221E stays cool and is easy to cool.

Overall, the hardware leaves a really well-rounded impression on us in the editorial office.
