Core i5-6440EQ Details

The Intel Core i5-6440EQ stands out for its balanced single-core performance, ranking #778 in single-core benchmarks with a score of 5232. This places it just behind high-end desktop processors like the Core i7-7560U and ahead of lower-power mobile chips such as the Core i7-7Y75. Despite being released in 2015, the processor remains relevant in embedded and industrial applications due to its efficient 14 nm manufacturing process and low 45 W TDP. The chip is built on Intel's Skylake architecture, offering a base clock of 2.7 GHz and a turbo frequency of up to 3.4 GHz, supported by a 6 MiB L3 cache and 1 MiB of L2 cache across four cores. It supports DDR4-2133 and DDR3L-1600 memory, with a maximum bandwidth of 31.79 GiB/s and dual-channel memory support.

Integrated graphics are handled by the HD Graphics 530, which features 24 execution units and a max frequency of 1 GHz. While not suited for modern gaming, this GPU provides adequate performance for basic display output and light multimedia tasks, supporting up to three displays. The processor includes a range of Intel-specific technologies such as AVX2, AES-NI, Intel VT-x, and Turbo Boost 2.0, enhancing performance and security in virtualized environments. The Core i5-6440EQ also supports ECC memory, a key feature for reliability in embedded systems.

In multicore performance, the chip scores 4723, placing it at #937 among 2060 processors. This reflects its ability to handle multi-threaded workloads efficiently, though it trails behind modern quad-core processors like the Core i5-8265U and Xeon E5-2637 v2. Its overall score of 5028 ranks it at #854, indicating it holds its own in general-purpose computing but is clearly outpaced by contemporary high-performance CPUs. The processor’s performance is most competitive with older 4th and 5th generation Intel Core i5 and i7 models, such as the Core i5-4590S and Core i5-3475S.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-6440EQ remains a solid choice for embedded systems, industrial control units, and thin client environments where reliability, low power consumption, and integrated graphics are priorities. While it is no longer suitable for high-end desktops or gaming, its long-standing support for key Intel technologies ensures continued functionality in legacy and industrial computing ecosystems.
