Core i5-7200U Details

Released in 2017, the Intel Core i5-7200U remains a notable entry in the mobile processor lineup, built on the Kaby Lake architecture and fabricated on a 14 nm process. Though over six years old, it continues to serve as a reliable workhorse for lightweight productivity and multimedia tasks in ultrabooks and thin laptops. With a base clock of 2.5 GHz and a turbo frequency of up to 3.1 GHz, the dual-core, quad-thread design leverages Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology to deliver responsive performance in everyday computing scenarios. The processor operates within a 15 W TDP, with dynamic scaling down to 7.5 W at lower frequencies, making it efficient for all-day use in portable devices.

The Core i5-7200U includes 3 MiB of L3 cache and 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, with 0.125 MiB of L1 cache split between instruction and data. It supports DDR4-2133, DDR3L-1600, and LPDDR3-1866 memory, achieving a maximum memory bandwidth of 31.79 GiB/s across two channels. The integrated HD Graphics 620 GPU, featuring 24 execution units and a base frequency of 300 MHz with a burst frequency of up to 1.0 GHz, provides capable graphics performance for basic gaming, video playback, and light creative work. It supports up to three displays simultaneously and can handle 4K video decoding.

In terms of performance, the Core i5-7200U holds an overall Passmark score of 4784, ranking #1036 among 2060 processors, with a single-core score of 4975 (#952) and a multicore score of 4498 (#1227). While it significantly trails the top-tier processors in the current market—such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX or the Core Ultra 9 285K—it competes effectively with other mid-tier mobile CPUs from its era. It is outperformed by modern processors like the Core i5-8365U and Ryzen 3 2200GE in single-core tasks, yet remains competitive with older dual-core models like the Core i7-2610UE in multicore workloads.

The CPU supports a wide array of instruction sets, including AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel’s Turbo Boost 2.0, enhancing its efficiency in both general computing and encryption-heavy applications. It also features Intel’s Speed Shift Technology and Enhanced SpeedStep for dynamic power management, ensuring optimal performance and battery life. Despite being outdated by today’s standards, the i5-7200U still finds relevance in budget laptops, educational devices, and entry-level business systems where integrated graphics and power efficiency are prioritized.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-7200U is best suited for general office use, web browsing, media consumption, and light content creation. While it lacks the raw power of modern mobile CPUs, its balance of efficiency, integrated graphics, and long-term support makes it a dependable option in low-power environments. For users requiring higher performance, newer Intel and AMD mobile processors offer significant advantages in both single-threaded responsiveness and multi-core throughput.
