Core i5-6360U Details

Released in 2015 as part of Intel's Skylake generation, the Core i5-6360U stands as a mobile processor designed for ultra-thin laptops and ultrabooks. Built on a 14 nm process and based on the Skylake microarchitecture, this chip reflects Intel's push toward higher efficiency and integrated graphics performance in the mobile space. While it's now over eight years old, the i5-6360U was once a compelling choice for users seeking a balance between performance and power efficiency. Its 15 W TDP and compact FCBGA-1356 package made it ideal for slim devices, though its performance now places it firmly in the lower tier of modern benchmarks.

The Core i5-6360U features two physical cores with four threads, enabled by Intel's Hyper-Threading technology. It operates at a base frequency of 2.0 GHz, capable of boosting up to 3.1 GHz on a single core and 2.9 GHz on two cores, leveraging Intel Turbo Boost 2.0. The processor includes 4 MiB of L3 cache and 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, with a total L1 cache of 0.125 MiB. It supports DDR4-2133, LPDDR3-1866, and DDR3L-1600 memory across two channels, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 31.79 GiB/s. The chip is manufactured using CMOS technology and operates within a junction temperature range of 273.15 K to 373.15 K.

Integrated into the i5-6360U is Intel's Iris Graphics 540, a mid-tier GPU with 48 execution units. It can reach a maximum frequency of 1.0 GHz, though its base frequency is 300 MHz. The GPU supports up to three displays and can access up to 32 GiB of system memory. This makes the processor suitable for light multimedia tasks and entry-level gaming, though not for demanding graphics workloads. The processor also supports a wide array of features, including AES-NI, AVX2, FMA3, and Intel VT-x, enabling virtualization, encryption, and high-performance computing.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-6360U achieves an Overall Score of 4879, placing it at #971 out of 2060 processors. Its Singlecore Score is 5119, ranking #869, while its Multicore Score is 4518, placing it at #1196. These results indicate that the i5-6360U performs comparably to mid-tier desktop processors from the same era, such as the Core i3-6167U and Core i5-6300U. However, it falls behind modern high-end CPUs, with the top-ranked Core Ultra 9 285K achieving a Singlecore Score of 8776 and a Multicore Score of 12029.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-6360U is best suited for basic productivity tasks, web browsing, and light multimedia use. Its low power consumption and integrated graphics make it ideal for older ultrabooks and entry-level mobile devices. While it no longer competes with modern processors in terms of raw performance, it remains a reliable option for users who prioritize battery life and cost-effectiveness over high-end computing capabilities.
