Core i5-4200H Details

For users seeking a capable dual-core processor with integrated graphics for light productivity, multimedia, and occasional gaming, the Intel Core i5-4200H offers a compelling option, especially in the context of its age and performance. Released in 2014 as part of Intel's 4th generation Core family, this mobile processor is now over a decade old, placing it firmly in the legacy category. While modern systems have advanced significantly, the i5-4200H still holds relevance in older laptops or as a cost-effective upgrade for basic computing tasks.

Built on Intel's 22 nm process and based on the Haswell microarchitecture, the Core i5-4200H features two physical cores with four threads thanks to Hyper-Threading technology. It operates at a base frequency of 2.8 GHz, capable of boosting to 3.4 GHz under load, providing a noticeable performance uplift in single-threaded applications. The processor is designed for the FCBGA1364 socket and has a TDP of 47 W, indicating it was built for performance-oriented mobile platforms rather than ultra-portable devices.

The i5-4200H supports up to 32 GB of DDR3L 1333/1600 memory across two channels, with a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. This configuration allows for adequate performance in everyday tasks, though the dual-channel limitation can become a bottleneck in memory-intensive workloads. The processor also supports PCIe 3.0 with up to 16 lanes, enabling compatibility with high-speed storage and expansion cards.

Integrated into the processor is the Intel HD Graphics 4600, which features 20 execution units and a base frequency of 400 MHz, capable of reaching a burst frequency of 1.15 GHz. This GPU can handle basic 1080p video playback, light photo editing, and casual gaming at low to medium settings, making it suitable for users who do not require a discrete graphics card.

In terms of performance, the Core i5-4200H achieves a Passmark Overall Score of 4,772, ranking it #1,042 out of 2,060 processors. Its Singlecore Score of 4,965 places it at #958, indicating strong single-threaded performance relative to its peers. However, its Multicore Score of 4,482, ranking #1,263, reveals a more modest performance in multi-threaded applications, which is typical for a dual-core processor with Hyper-Threading. When compared to other CPUs in the Passmark database, it outperforms several modern low-power processors but falls behind contemporary quad-core and higher processors.

The i5-4200H supports a range of advanced technologies, including AES-NI, AVX2, and Intel's virtualization extensions, making it suitable for light virtualization and encryption tasks. It also includes features like Intel vPro and TXT for enterprise environments, though these are less relevant in consumer systems. Despite its age, the processor's feature set remains robust, supporting modern operating systems and software.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-4200H is best suited for users in need of a reliable, energy-efficient processor for basic computing tasks. It excels in single-threaded applications such as web browsing, office productivity, and media consumption. While it lacks the raw power of modern processors, its integrated graphics and sufficient performance make it a practical choice for older systems or budget-conscious users who prioritize value over cutting-edge performance.
