Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-3210M was once a versatile processor for laptops. It is based on the Ivy Bridge H architecture and was manufactured in 22-nanometer process. This was an advanced step at the time, offering good energy efficiency. Although it no longer delivers top performance today, the Intel Core i5-3210M still has enough computing power for everyday tasks.

We are thinking here of office applications, surfing the internet, or even streaming media.Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 is an important feature. This graphics solution enabled a solid display back then. It could be used for many applications, even for older games with moderate settings. The 3 MB Level 3 cache also contributes to smooth data processing.

The maximum memory bandwidth is 26 GB/s, sufficient for the requirements at the time. This processor remains a functional choice for devices that do not need the latest hardware. It shows us how consistently good technology can be.
