Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-8305G is a truly interesting processor. It is based on the Kaby Lake G Refresh architecture. It was manufactured in a 14 nm process, which provided a well-thought-out foundation for its time. Its greatest strength lies in the remarkable integrated graphics solution. We are talking about the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL here.

This combination was a real novelty back then. It delivered unexpectedly good graphics performance for the processor's class. We were quite surprised at the time at how smoothly this chip could display many applications and even the occasional game. The processor also has 6 MB of Level 3 cache. This noticeably benefits data processing.

The maximum memory bandwidth of 38 GB/s also contributes to this. It supports the overall performance, especially that of the integrated graphics. The Intel Core i5-8305G is still a solid choice today. It offers a balanced mix of computing and graphics performance. It can still be found in devices that are looking for a reliable basis for everyday tasks.

Multimedia applications and light gaming scenarios also benefit. This chip can confidently be described as a successful synthesis of CPU and GPU.
  • Integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL graphics
  • Balanced CPU and graphics performance
