Core i5-7287U Details

The Core i5-7287U stands out in the mobile processor landscape for its integration of Iris Plus Graphics 650, a feature that elevates it beyond typical low-power CPUs. Released in 2017 as part of Intel’s Kaby Lake U series, this processor is now over six years old, placing it in the category of legacy mobile chips. Despite its age, the i5-7287U retains relevance in lightweight computing scenarios due to its efficient design and balanced performance profile. Built on a 14 nm process and based on the Kaby Lake microarchitecture, the chip features two cores with four threads, enabled by Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology. It runs at a base frequency of 3.3 GHz and can boost up to 3.7 GHz under load, delivering a solid single-threaded performance that remains competitive even today.

The processor is designed for mobile platforms, fitting into the FCBGA-1356 socket with a TDP of 28 W, which drops to 23 W in lower-power modes. This makes it suitable for thin-and-light laptops where thermal constraints are a priority. The CPU supports LPDDR3-1866, DDR3L-1600, and DDR4-2133 memory types, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB and a peak memory bandwidth of 31.79 GiB/s across two channels. Cache configuration includes 0.125 MiB of L1, 0.5 MiB of L2, and a substantial 4 MiB of L3 cache, aiding in efficient data access and reducing latency.

Integrated graphics are a highlight, with the Iris Plus Graphics 650 offering 48 execution units and a maximum frequency of 1.1 GHz, capable of driving up to three displays. While not suitable for modern gaming or high-end content creation, this GPU performs adequately for office applications, media playback, and light productivity tasks. The chip supports a range of Intel technologies, including AES-NI, AVX-2, Intel VT-x, and Intel Speed Shift, ensuring compatibility with modern software and virtualization workloads.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-7287U achieves a single-core score of 5649, placing it at #459 among 2060 processors, which reflects its strong performance in sequential workloads. The multicore score of 4666 ranks it at #1007 of 2060, indicating moderate scaling across multiple threads. The overall score of 5256 places it at #651 of 2060, showing it holds its own against many mid-tier mobile processors from the late 2010s. While it falls behind contemporary high-performance CPUs, its performance is still respectable for general productivity and multimedia use.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-7287U is best suited for users requiring a reliable, energy-efficient processor for everyday computing. Its low power consumption and integrated graphics make it ideal for ultraportable laptops, while its age limits its applicability in demanding applications such as video editing or 3D rendering. For users upgrading older devices or seeking a budget-friendly option, the i5-7287U remains a viable choice, particularly in scenarios where raw processing power is less critical than battery life and thermal efficiency.
