Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-5300U was a very solid choice for compact, mobile devices when it was introduced. It is based on the Broadwell U architecture and was manufactured using the then-advanced 14 nm process. This enabled remarkable energy efficiency and significantly contributed to the long battery life of laptops.

Its integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 delivered sufficient performance for everyday tasks. It was also ideal for the smooth playback of high-resolution media content. With 3 MB Level 3 Cache, this processor always ensured smooth operation. It also supported fast data access for typical applications and lighter workloads.

This chip was excellent for office work, internet use, and streaming videos. It was therefore ideal for users who valued a reliable and mobile computing solution. Its well-thought-out design and solid construction make it a durable component of many systems. We consider it a good example of solid engineering.
  • Efficient Broadwell U Architecture
  • 14 nm Manufacturing Process
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500
  • 3 MB Level 3 Cache
