Core i5-7Y54 Details

With a single-core score of 5003 and a multicore score of 4480, the Intel Core i5-7Y54 presents a compelling case for low-power mobile computing, though its performance is firmly rooted in an older generation of technology. Released in 2017 as part of Intel's Kaby Lake Y series, this processor was designed for ultra-thin notebooks and fanless systems, where power efficiency and thermal control take precedence over raw performance. As of early 2026, the Core i5-7Y54 is now over eight years old, placing it in the category of legacy mobile CPUs, yet it remains relevant in niche applications where minimal power draw and compact form factors are paramount.

Built on a 14 nm process and based on the Kaby Lake microarchitecture, the Core i5-7Y54 features two cores with four threads, enabled by Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology. It operates at a base frequency of 1.2 GHz, capable of boosting up to 3.2 GHz under sustained load, making it one of the higher-performing processors in its ultra-low TDP class. The chip integrates 4 MiB of L3 cache and 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, with a modest 0.125 MiB of L1 cache split between instruction and data. It supports DDR3L-1600 and LPDDR3-1866 memory, with a maximum of 16 GiB of RAM, delivering a memory bandwidth of 27.81 GiB/s across two channels.

The integrated HD Graphics 615 GPU, with 24 execution units and a base frequency of 300 MHz, offers basic graphics capabilities, capable of driving up to three displays simultaneously. While not suitable for gaming or professional graphics workloads, it supports 1080p video playback and light multimedia tasks. The processor’s TDP is a mere 4.5 W, with dynamic scaling down to 3.5 W at 600 MHz and up to 7 W at 1.6 GHz, making it ideal for always-on devices and passive cooling designs.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-7Y54 ranks 1028th overall out of 2060 CPUs, with its single-core performance placing it 939th and multicore performance at 1266th. While it outperforms several older Intel and AMD processors, such as the Core i5-4200H and the A8-3870K, it trails significantly behind modern mobile and desktop chips. Its performance is comparable to mid-tier mobile processors from the late 2010s, but it falls short of even entry-level modern CPUs. The processor supports a wide range of Intel technologies, including Intel Speed Shift, Enhanced SpeedStep, Turbo Boost 2.0, and Intel VT-x and VT-d virtualization, as well as AVX2 and AES-NI instruction sets.

Despite its age and modest performance, the Core i5-7Y54 remains a viable option for lightweight computing tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and media playback in ultra-portable laptops. Its low power consumption and passive cooling capabilities make it a suitable choice for fanless systems and embedded applications. However, for users seeking modern performance, multitasking, or content creation, a significantly more powerful CPU is recommended. As of March 2026, the Core i5-7Y54 serves as a testament to Intel’s early efforts in balancing performance and power efficiency in the mobile space, though it now occupies a distant position in the broader landscape of CPU performance.
