Core i5-5287U Details

Ranking #862 in single-core performance and #1185 in multicore scoring, the Intel Core i5-5287U presents a compelling case for efficiency and value in mobile computing, even as of early 2026. Launched in March 2015, this Broadwell-U processor is now over a decade old, yet it continues to hold its own in certain benchmark categories. Its 2.9 GHz base clock, boostable to 3.3 GHz, combined with Hyper-Threading, delivers a strong single-threaded performance that outpaces many modern low-power processors. This is particularly notable given its 28 W TDP, which underscores Intel’s focus on power efficiency during that era.

Built on a 14 nm process, the Core i5-5287U features a 2-core, 4-thread design with 3 MB of L3 cache and 0.244 MiB of L2 cache, supporting DDR3L and LPDDR3 memory at up to 1866 MT/s. The dual-channel memory interface enables a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s, although real-world performance is influenced by the system’s memory configuration. The processor uses the FCBGA1168 socket, a common package for mobile CPUs of its time, and supports PCIe 2.0 with up to 12 lanes for peripheral connectivity.

Intel’s Iris 6100 integrated graphics, with a base frequency of 300 MHz and a burst frequency of 1100 MHz, offers decent multimedia and light gaming capabilities. It supports up to three displays and is capable of handling HD video playback and casual applications. While it lacks the raw power of modern discrete GPUs, it remains sufficient for office tasks, web browsing, and basic media consumption.

The i5-5287U includes several advanced features such as AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel’s virtualization technologies, including VT-x and VT-d, making it suitable for virtualized environments. It also supports ECC memory, though only in server-grade platforms. Despite its age, the processor remains competitive in its segment, particularly when compared to contemporaries like the Core i5-5257U and the A8-7650K.

In today’s landscape, where top-tier CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX dominate the benchmarks, the Core i5-5287U serves as a reminder of how far mobile computing has come. It is best suited for budget laptops, entry-level business machines, or as a replacement in older systems where power efficiency and integrated graphics are priorities. While it is no longer relevant for high-performance tasks, its enduring performance in single-threaded workloads ensures it remains a viable option for light users.
