Core i5-4210M Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-4210M remains a relic of the early Haswell era, representing a time when mobile processors prioritized balanced performance within tight thermal constraints. Built on a 22 nm process and released in 2013, this dual-core, quad-threaded CPU is now firmly in the category of legacy hardware, though it still holds relevance in older systems or embedded applications. Designed for mainstream laptops, it features Intel's HD Graphics 4600 integrated GPU, which, while modest by today’s standards, was capable of handling light gaming and multimedia tasks when it launched.

The Core i5-4210M operates at a base frequency of 2.6 GHz, with a turbo boost up to 3.2 GHz, enabling short bursts of higher performance under load. It supports DDR3L memory at speeds up to 1600 MHz, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB and dual-channel memory architecture, providing a peak memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The processor uses the FCPGA946 socket and has a TDP of 37 W, making it suitable for mid-range laptops with efficient cooling solutions. It also supports PCIe 3.0 and various advanced instruction sets including AVX2, AES-NI, and VT-x, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of software and virtualization environments.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-4210M achieves an Overall Score of 4726, ranking #1084 out of 2060 processors, with a Singlecore Score of 4948 (#971) and a Multicore Score of 4392 (#1474). These results place it well behind modern CPUs but still ahead of many older dual-core and low-power processors. Its performance is competitive with contemporaries like the Core i3-3120M and Phenom II X3 710, yet it trails behind more recent Intel and AMD offerings such as the Core i7-5500U and Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U.

Despite its age, the Core i5-4210M retains value in legacy systems where its integrated graphics and power efficiency make it a reliable choice. While it no longer competes in the mainstream performance market, it serves as a testament to Intel’s early efforts in balancing performance and power consumption in mobile computing. For users maintaining older hardware or running legacy software, it remains a functional and supported option, though upgrading to a modern processor is strongly advised for improved performance and compatibility.
