Core i5-7Y57 Details

With a single-core score of 5104 and a multicore score of 4547, the Intel Core i5-7Y57 stands out as a power-efficient mobile processor designed for ultra-portable devices. Released in 2016 as part of Intel’s Kaby Lake Y series, this chip is built on a 14 nm process and features a dual-core, quad-thread design, allowing it to handle light multitasking and everyday productivity tasks effectively. Despite being over seven years old, its performance remains competitive in its segment, especially when paired with modern operating systems and optimized software. The processor’s 4.5 W TDP, with dynamic scaling down to 3.5 W, makes it ideal for thin and light laptops where thermal and power constraints are critical.

The Core i5-7Y57 operates at a base frequency of 1.2 GHz, with a turbo boost up to 3.3 GHz, enabling it to deliver strong single-threaded performance despite its modest power envelope. It supports DDR3L-1600 and LPDDR3-1866 memory, with a maximum capacity of 16 GB and a memory bandwidth of 27.81 GiB/s. The chip includes 4 MiB of L3 cache and 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, while L1 cache is split into 0.0625 MiB for both data and instruction. These specifications reflect a design focused on efficiency rather than raw throughput, making it suitable for devices that prioritize battery life over extreme performance.

Integrated graphics are provided by the Intel HD Graphics 615, featuring 24 execution units and a base frequency of 300 MHz, capable of boosting to 950 MHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and is sufficient for basic multimedia, light photo editing, and low-demand gaming. The processor also includes a full suite of Intel technologies, such as Turbo Boost 2.0, Hyper-Threading, Enhanced SpeedStep, and Intel VT-x and VT-d virtualization support. It supports advanced instruction sets including AVX2 and AES-NI, which enhance performance in cryptographic and data-intensive applications.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-7Y57 achieves an overall score of 4881, placing it at #969 among 2060 CPUs. Its single-core performance ranks #877, outperforming many higher-TDP processors like the Core i3-7100H and Pentium G3430, while its multicore score places it at #1163, slightly behind the Core i7-740QM and Core i7-4610M. This indicates that the processor excels in single-threaded workloads, making it well-suited for tasks like web browsing, office applications, and video conferencing. However, its multicore performance lags behind more modern and higher-power CPUs.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-7Y57 remains a viable option for users seeking a reliable, low-power CPU for lightweight computing needs. While it is no longer competitive with today’s high-end mobile processors, it continues to serve well in budget ultrabooks, business laptops, and other devices where efficiency and longevity are prioritized over raw performance. Its strong single-core performance and integrated graphics make it a practical choice for general productivity, but it is not suited for demanding applications like 3D rendering or high-end gaming.
