Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i7-4558U belongs to the Haswell U generation. It offered an interesting combination of performance and efficiency from its introduction. This processor, manufactured in a 22nm process, was primarily designed for mobile systems. Particularly noteworthy is the integrated Intel Iris Graphics 5100.

This graphics unit delivered considerable graphics performance for an integrated solution of its time. It enabled the smooth playback of multimedia content and even supported some less demanding games. With 4 MB of Level 3 cache, the processor could access data quickly. This noticeably improved the system's responsiveness.

It is no longer primarily intended for today's most demanding applications. But everyday tasks such as surfing, word processing or video streaming are still reliably mastered by the Intel Core i7-4558U. Its energy efficiency and the usable graphics solution made it a popular choice. We find that it represents a solid foundation for older laptops.
