Intel Core M-5Y70
Benchmarks & Specs

The Intel Core M-5Y70 was a processor that played a vital role in the development of highly compact devices. It was specifically designed to enable fanless designs. This was a major advantage for device size at the time. Particularly noteworthy is its manufacture using the then highly advanced 14-nanometer process.

This significantly contributed to its remarkable energy efficiency. The chip thus ideally fit into the emerging category of extremely thin laptops and tablets. Despite its small dimensions, it delivered a solid performance for most everyday computing tasks. We found that it offered good performance for its class.

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 5300 took care of graphics output. It was easily sufficient for typical applications such as surfing the internet, office work, and watching videos. With its 4 MB Level 3 cache, the processor could cache data very efficiently. This supported an overall smooth and responsive user experience.

The Intel Core M-5Y70, based on the Broadwell Y architecture, remains a vivid example. It demonstrated how much performance was possible in an energy-efficient package. It offered a very good balance between low power consumption and usable computing power for mobile use.
