Core i5-6287U Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-6287U remains a notable example of a mobile processor from the Skylake generation, designed for thin and light laptops. Despite its age—released in 2015—it still holds relevance in low-power computing environments due to its efficient 14 nm manufacturing process and integrated Iris Graphics 550. Built on the Skylake microarchitecture, this dual-core, quad-thread processor features a base frequency of 3.1 GHz and a turbo boost up to 3.5 GHz, supported by a 28 W TDP with a downclock option to 23 W for improved battery life. It supports DDR4-2133 and LPDDR3-1866 memory, delivering up to 31.79 GiB/s of memory bandwidth, which was competitive at the time of release.

The Core i5-6287U includes 4 MiB of L3 cache and a 0.5 MiB L2 cache, with a 64-bit x86-64 instruction set and full support for modern extensions such as AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0. It also includes integrated graphics with 48 execution units running at a base frequency of 300 MHz and a burst frequency of up to 1.1 GHz, capable of driving up to three displays. The processor is manufactured in a BGA-1356 package and supports Intel's virtualization and security technologies, including VT-x, VT-d, and Intel Secure Key.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-6287U achieves a single-core score of 5,250, ranking #768 among 2,060 processors, and a multicore score of 4,586, placing it #1,109 in the multicore performance list. Its overall score of 4,984 ranks it #887, indicating that while it is no longer competitive with modern high-end mobile or desktop CPUs, it holds steady against many mid-tier and older processors. Notably, it outperforms some current-generation low-power CPUs like the Core i3-8109U and the Core i7-6560U, but is clearly overshadowed by modern offerings such as the Ryzen 9 7950X or Intel’s Core Ultra series.

When compared to its contemporaries, the Core i5-6287U is positioned as a mid-tier mobile CPU with strong integrated graphics for its time, making it suitable for light productivity, multimedia, and occasional gaming. Its performance is most comparable to other Skylake-U processors, though it falls short of modern energy-efficient designs. For users seeking a reliable, low-power CPU for basic tasks or legacy systems, the i5-6287U remains a viable option, though its age and lack of support for newer technologies limit its appeal in today’s market.

Overall, the Core i5-6287U is best suited for users who prioritize power efficiency and integrated graphics over raw performance. While it lacks the multi-threading capabilities and modern instruction sets found in newer processors, its stability and compatibility with older software and hardware make it a durable choice in the right context. For general computing and multimedia consumption in lightweight laptops, it still delivers acceptable performance, albeit at the lower end of the spectrum compared to current-generation processors.
