Core i5-8210Y Details

For users seeking a compact, energy-efficient processor with integrated graphics for light productivity and multimedia tasks, the Intel Core i5-8210Y offers a balanced solution designed for ultra-thin notebooks and fanless systems. Launched in early 2018, this processor belongs to Intel's Whiskey Lake family, built on a 14 nm process and featuring a 5 W TDP, making it ideal for portable devices where thermal constraints are critical. Despite being over six years old, it remains relevant in low-power environments where efficiency and low heat output are prioritized over raw performance.

The Core i5-8210Y features a dual-core design with four threads, enabled by Hyper-Threading, and operates at a base frequency of 1.1 GHz, boosting up to 3.4 GHz when needed. This turbo frequency allows for responsive performance in single-threaded applications. The processor supports DDR3L-1600 and LPDDR3-1866 memory across two channels, delivering a maximum bandwidth of 29.8 GB/s, which is sufficient for basic multitasking and light content creation. It uses the FCBGA1515 socket, typical for embedded and mobile platforms, and supports PCIe 3.0 with up to 10 lanes in flexible configurations.

Integrated into the chip is Intel’s HD Graphics 615, a low-power GPU with a base frequency of 300 MHz and a burst frequency of 900 MHz. It supports up to three displays and is capable of handling 1080p video playback and light graphical workloads, though it is not suited for gaming or intensive graphics processing. The processor includes a range of Intel technologies such as AES-NI for encryption, AVX2 for advanced vector operations, and VT-x/VT-d for virtualization, enhancing security and performance in virtualized environments.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-8210Y achieves an overall score of 4758, placing it at #1057 out of 2060 processors. Its single-core performance of 4972 ranks it #955, indicating strong efficiency in tasks that benefit from high clock speeds, while its multicore score of 4436, ranking #1360, reflects modest scaling due to its limited core count. This suggests that while it performs well in single-threaded applications, it lags behind modern multi-core processors in sustained workloads.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-8210Y is best suited for lightweight computing, such as web browsing, office applications, and media consumption in thin and light laptops. It holds its own against some older mainstream CPUs but is outpaced by modern processors in both single and multi-core performance. For users requiring more power or future-proofing, upgrading to a newer generation Intel or AMD processor would be advisable, though for budget-conscious or low-power needs, this processor remains a viable option.
