Core i5-4210Y Details

Ranked #1763 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Core i5-4210Y sits near the lower end of the modern CPU hierarchy as of February 2026. While it was once a capable dual-core processor for light productivity and integrated graphics tasks, its 2014 origins and 22 nm manufacturing process now place it well behind contemporary offerings. The chip’s performance is reflective of its era—adequate for basic office work, web browsing, and media playback, but clearly outpaced by today’s multi-core, high-frequency designs.

Built on Intel’s Haswell architecture and fabricated at 22 nm, the Core i5-4210Y features two cores with four threads enabled via Hyper-Threading. It operates at a base frequency of 1.5 GHz and can boost up to 1.9 GHz, supported by a 65 W TDP despite being designed for ultra-low-power platforms. This is achieved through its FCBGA1168 socket, commonly used in thin-and-light laptops. The processor supports DDR3L and LPDDR3 memory at speeds up to 1600 MHz, with a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB and a memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s across two channels.

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4200 GPU runs at a base frequency of 200 MHz and can reach a burst frequency of 850 MHz. It supports up to three displays and is capable of handling standard-definition video playback and light graphical tasks, though it falls far short of modern integrated solutions. The GPU's limited compute power restricts its usefulness for gaming or creative workloads.

Despite its age, the i5-4210Y supports a range of modern features, including AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel vPro, which provide enhanced security and encryption capabilities. It also supports virtualization technologies such as VT-x and VT-d, enabling efficient virtual machine operation. Additionally, the processor includes technologies like EIST and TXT, which improve power efficiency and system integrity.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-4210Y achieves a single-core score of 4005 and a multicore score of 4337, placing it below more recent processors such as the Core i3-5010U and above older chips like the Core i3-2375M. Its overall score of 4138 reflects its modest performance, with the multicore performance being its strongest attribute due to the presence of Hyper-Threading. However, it lags behind even mid-range current CPUs in terms of raw compute power.

As of February 2026, the Core i5-4210Y is best suited for legacy systems, entry-level laptops, or secondary devices where power efficiency and cost are prioritized over performance. While it remains functional for basic computing tasks, users seeking better performance should consider more modern alternatives with higher core counts, faster clock speeds, and improved integrated graphics.
