Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-4308U is a processor from an earlier generation that still holds its own. It is based on the proven Haswell U architecture, manufactured using the then-advanced 22-nanometer process. You can tell that this chip was designed for efficiency. It provides a reliable foundation for common applications that do not require extreme computing power.

Of particular note is the integrated Intel Iris Graphics 5100. For a laptop processor of its time, this graphics unit was surprisingly powerful. It enabled smooth playback of high-resolution videos. Also, a pleasant experience with many older games was possible with it. The built-in 3 MB Level-3 cache additionally supports fast data processing.

This contributes to the overall responsiveness of the system. The Intel Core i5-4308U was a smart choice for slim notebooks. Even today, it cuts a fine figure in devices for simple office work, web, or media playback. It is remarkable how solid this chip has remained for its original purpose.

  • Integrated Intel Iris Graphics 5100 for media and older games
  • 3 MB Level-3 cache for system responsiveness
  • Energy-efficient, ideal for slim notebooks
  • Reliable for everyday tasks
