Core i5-6350HQ Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-6350HQ remains a notable entry in the mobile processor landscape, particularly for its integration of the Iris Pro Graphics 580 and its performance within the broader context of 2016-era computing. Launched in January 2016 as part of Intel’s Skylake-H architecture, this quad-core processor was designed for high-performance mobile systems, offering a balance of efficiency and computational capability. Despite being over eight years old, it still holds relevance in certain use cases due to its robust feature set and strong single-core performance.

The Core i5-6350HQ operates at a base frequency of 2.3 GHz with a turbo boost up to 3.2 GHz, leveraging Intel’s Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. It features a 14 nm manufacturing process and is packaged in the BGA1440 form factor, typical for mobile laptops of that era. With 6 MB of L3 cache and a total of 4 cores and 4 threads, the chip delivers solid performance for multitasking and productivity workloads. Its 45 W TDP provides a good balance between power consumption and performance, making it suitable for thin-and-light systems that require sustained operation.

One of the standout features of the Core i5-6350HQ is its integrated Iris Pro Graphics 580, which includes 72 execution units and a maximum frequency of 900 MHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and can handle light gaming and multimedia tasks, although it is no longer competitive with modern discrete or even integrated graphics solutions. The processor supports DDR3L-1600 and DDR4-2133 memory, operating in a dual-channel configuration with a maximum bandwidth of 34.1 GB/s.

In benchmark evaluations, the Core i5-6350HQ achieves an overall score of 5153, placing it at #742 among 2060 processors. Its single-core score of 5286 ranks it at #735, indicating strong individual thread performance, while its multicore score of 4953 places it at #670. These results reflect its strength in single-threaded applications, where it competes closely with some modern low-power processors. However, its multicore performance trails behind contemporary offerings, particularly in the mid-range and high-end segments.

The Core i5-6350HQ supports a wide array of Intel technologies, including AVX, AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel VT-x for virtualization, making it suitable for enterprise environments and software development. It also includes advanced features like Intel Secure Key and Intel TXT, enhancing security in business and professional settings. Despite its age, the processor remains relevant for users who prioritize single-threaded performance and integrated graphics in portable systems.

In conclusion, the Intel Core i5-6350HQ is a well-rounded mobile processor that, while outdated by today’s standards, still delivers capable performance for general computing, content creation, and light gaming. Its strong single-core performance and integrated graphics make it a viable option for users upgrading older laptops or building budget-friendly mobile workstations. However, for demanding workloads or modern applications, newer processors offer significantly greater performance and efficiency.
