Core i5-4202Y Details

The Intel Core i5-4202Y stands out for its integrated graphics performance, delivering a robust experience for light multimedia tasks and basic gaming in a compact, low-power form factor. Built on Intel's 22 nm process and based on the Haswell microarchitecture, this processor is designed for ultra-portable devices where power efficiency and thermal control are paramount. Released in 2014, it is now considered an older model by modern standards, but its low 11.5 W TDP and dual-core, quad-thread design still make it suitable for entry-level productivity and light multitasking in devices such as thin-and-light laptops.

Featuring a base clock of 1.6 GHz and a turbo frequency of 2.0 GHz, the Core i5-4202Y pairs with Intel's HD Graphics 4200, which operates at a base frequency of 200 MHz and can burst up to 850 MHz. This integrated GPU supports up to three displays and is capable of handling 1080p video playback and basic 3D applications, making it a practical choice for users who prioritize portability over raw performance. The processor supports DDR3L and LPDDR3 memory up to 16 GB, with dual-channel memory bandwidth reaching 25.6 GB/s, ensuring adequate data throughput for everyday computing.

Despite its age, the Core i5-4202Y demonstrates moderate performance in benchmark tests. It achieves an overall score of 4213, placing it at #1656 among 2060 processors, with a single-core score of 4105 (#1677) and a multicore score of 4376 (#1513). While it trails behind modern CPUs in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads, it holds its own against some older mobile and desktop processors, such as the Pentium G3450 and Core i5-3210M. The processor's standout strength lies in its balanced efficiency, offering decent performance for its power envelope.

The Core i5-4202Y supports a range of Intel technologies, including Hyper-Threading, AES-NI encryption, AVX2, and Intel vPro for enterprise environments. It also includes features like Intel VT-x, VT-d, and EPT for virtualization, making it a viable option for light virtualization tasks. However, its age is evident in its limited PCIe 2.0 support and lack of newer instruction sets available in modern processors.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-4202Y remains a niche option for users seeking a low-power, budget-friendly processor in older or ultra-mobile systems. While it is no longer competitive with current-generation CPUs, its efficiency and integrated graphics make it a reasonable choice for basic office work, web browsing, and media consumption in lightweight devices.
