Core i5-5200U Details

For users seeking a balance of performance and power efficiency in a mobile platform, the Intel Core i5-5200U remains a relevant option, albeit one rooted in older technology. Launched in March 2015, this processor is now over a decade old, placing it firmly in the category of legacy hardware. While its performance metrics are significantly behind modern offerings, the i5-5200U served as a capable mid-tier mobile CPU during its era, particularly in ultraportable laptops where thermal and power constraints were critical.

Based on Intel's Broadwell-U microarchitecture, the Core i5-5200U features a 14 nm manufacturing process and is built on a compact 82 mm² die. It includes two physical cores with Hyper-Threading enabled, allowing it to handle four threads simultaneously. This design delivers a base clock of 2.2 GHz and a turbo frequency of 2.7 GHz, with a TDP of just 15 W, making it ideal for thin-and-light systems. The processor supports dual-channel DDR3L and LPDDR3 memory at speeds up to 1600 MT/s, with a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB. Its memory bandwidth reaches 25.6 GB/s, and it connects via a PCIe 2.0 interface with up to 12 lanes.

The i5-5200U integrates Intel HD Graphics 5500, a GPU capable of boosting up to 900 MHz with a base frequency of 300 MHz. It supports up to three displays and includes features like Intel Quick Sync Video and support for hardware virtualization technologies such as VT-x and VT-d. The processor also supports a range of instruction sets, including AVX2, AES-NI, and SSE4.2, ensuring compatibility with a broad software ecosystem. Despite its age, the chip retains support for modern virtualization and encryption standards.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-5200U achieves an Overall Score of 4601, ranking #1190 of 2060 processors. Its Singlecore Score is 4734, placing it #1129, while its Multicore Score stands at 4401, ranking #1448. These results indicate that the processor's single-threaded performance remains relatively competitive compared to many older CPUs, though its multicore performance lags behind modern mobile and desktop offerings. It outperforms some older dual-core processors like the Core i5-460M and the Phenom II X3 B73, but trails behind more recent designs such as the Core i5-6300U and Core i7-4650U.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-5200U is no longer suitable for demanding workloads such as video editing, gaming, or software development. However, it remains a viable choice for basic productivity tasks, web browsing, and light multimedia use in older systems. Its low power consumption and integrated graphics make it ideal for entry-level laptops and devices where battery life and thermal efficiency are prioritized over raw performance. For users maintaining legacy hardware or seeking a cost-effective upgrade path, the i5-5200U still offers a dependable foundation—albeit one that reflects its era.
