Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-4430S comes from the Haswell S architecture. This processor was manufactured using the 22 nm process. For its time, this was a state-of-the-art manufacturing process. It offered a good balance of performance and energy efficiency. One of its strengths lies in the integrated graphics unit, the Intel HD Graphics 4600.

Even today, it delivers sufficient visual performance for everyday tasks. These include web browsing, multimedia playback and the use of office applications. Streaming videos also works smoothly with it. With 6 MB Level 3 Cache, the Intel Core i5-4430S ensures noticeably responsive system performance.

This is particularly advantageous when frequently switching between programs or loading applications. The support of the PCIe 3.0 standard also allows the flexible use of expansion cards. For example, you can upgrade to a dedicated graphics card. This significantly expands the possible uses. We were surprised at how solid this processor still is for many simple computer tasks today.

It continues to provide a reliable foundation for systems with basic requirements. This makes it a good choice for the economical user.
