Core i5-7440EQ Details

Built on Intel's Kaby Lake microarchitecture at a 14 nm process node, the Core i5-7440EQ represents a mature design that was introduced several years ago, placing it firmly in the realm of older embedded processors. While its architecture is no longer cutting-edge, the processor remains relevant for applications where integrated graphics and moderate performance are sufficient. As of March 2026, it continues to serve in embedded and industrial systems, where long-term availability and reliability often outweigh the latest performance metrics.

This 64-bit x86-64 processor features four cores and four threads, with a base clock speed of 2.9 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.6 GHz under single-core load. The chip is manufactured using CMOS technology and operates within a TDP of 45 W, with a reduced down-turbo mode at 35 W, making it suitable for power-constrained environments. It supports DDR3L-1600 and DDR4-2133 memory types, with a maximum capacity of 64 GiB and a peak memory bandwidth of 31.79 GiB/s across two channels. The integrated HD Graphics 630 GPU provides basic visual processing with 24 execution units, a base frequency of 350 MHz, and a maximum boost of 1 GHz, supporting up to three displays.

The Core i5-7440EQ includes a robust cache hierarchy, with 0.125 MiB of L1 cache per core (0.25 MiB total), 1 MiB of L2 cache, and a shared 6 MiB L3 cache. It supports a wide range of Intel technologies, including Turbo Boost 2.0, Enhanced SpeedStep, Intel VT-x and VT-d virtualization, AES-NI encryption, and AVX/AVX2 instructions, ensuring compatibility with modern software workloads. The processor is packaged in a FCBGA-1440 format and uses the Sunrise Point chipset, which connects via DMI 3.0 at 8 GT/s.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-7440EQ achieves an overall score of 5307, placing it at #612 among 2060 processors. Its single-core performance scores 5611, ranking it #479, while its multicore score stands at 4852, placing it #783. This indicates that the CPU excels in single-threaded applications, where its high single-core frequency provides strong responsiveness, but it lags behind in multi-threaded workloads due to its limited core count and older architecture. It outperforms some modern mobile processors like the Core i7-1185G7 and Core i3-9300, but trails behind contemporary desktop and server chips such as the Ryzen 5 7320U and Xeon Gold 6254.

Given its age and performance profile, the Core i5-7440EQ is best suited for embedded systems, thin clients, and light-duty workstations where integrated graphics and moderate compute power are sufficient. It offers a reliable balance of performance and power efficiency, though it is not competitive with modern high-end CPUs. For users seeking a capable, low-power processor for basic computing tasks, the i5-7440EQ remains a viable option, particularly in environments where long-term support and stability are critical.
