Core i5-5350U Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-5350U remains a relic from the early Broadwell-U era, having been released in March 2015. While it was once a capable mobile processor, its performance now places it far behind modern CPUs in both single-core and multi-core workloads. With an overall score of 4686, the i5-5350U ranks #1119 out of 2060 processors, reflecting its position as a mid-tier performer from a bygone era. Its single-core score of 4847 places it at #1041, indicating it still holds a modest advantage in tasks that rely heavily on high clock speeds, though this is increasingly overshadowed by newer architectures. In multicore performance, it scores 4444, ranking #1335, showing that its dual-core design with hyper-threading is no longer competitive in today’s multi-threaded computing environment.

The Core i5-5350U is built on Intel’s 14 nm Broadwell-U architecture, a refinement of the Haswell design that prioritized power efficiency over raw performance. It features two cores with four threads thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, operating at a base frequency of 1.8 GHz and capable of boosting up to 2.9 GHz. The processor integrates 3 MB of L3 cache, with 0.061 MiB of L1 and 0.244 MiB of L2 cache, supporting dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 1866 MT/s. Despite its age, it retains a low 15 W TDP, making it suitable for thin-and-light laptops where thermal and power constraints are critical.

Integrated graphics are handled by the Intel HD Graphics 6000, which, while not powerful by today’s standards, enables basic multimedia and light gaming. It supports up to three display outputs and offers modest performance for video playback and office applications. The processor supports a range of Intel technologies, including AVX2, SSE, and virtualization features such as VT-x and VT-d, which improve performance in virtualized environments. However, the absence of AVX-512 and modern instruction sets limits its ability to handle modern computational workloads.

When compared to its contemporaries, the i5-5350U is outperformed by more recent mobile processors such as the Core i3-7020U and Athlon X4 870K, both of which achieve slightly higher scores despite having similar or lower clock speeds. On the other hand, it outperforms older dual-core processors like the Core i7-2620M and Xeon E5-2609 v2, demonstrating its relative strength within its own generation. However, even in its time, it was not a top-tier performer, especially when compared to higher-end models like the Core i7-5600U.

In summary, the Core i5-5350U is best suited for legacy systems or low-power computing tasks such as web browsing, office work, and media playback. Its low power consumption and integrated graphics make it a viable option for older laptops or embedded systems where performance is secondary to efficiency. However, for users seeking modern performance, especially in multitasking, content creation, or gaming, newer processors are a far better investment.
