Core i5-8350U Details

The Intel Core i5-8350U stands out as a high-efficiency mobile processor, delivering impressive single-core performance for its class despite being based on the Kaby Lake microarchitecture. Released in August 2017, this 14 nm chip has aged well in terms of raw compute power, particularly in single-threaded workloads. With a base frequency of 1.7 GHz and a turbo boost up to 3.6 GHz, the i5-8350U leverages Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology to handle eight threads simultaneously, making it suitable for multitasking and productivity applications in thin-and-light laptops.

At its core, the i5-8350U features four CPU cores and a 6 MiB L3 cache, paired with 1 MiB of L2 cache and 0.25 MiB of L1 cache, distributed as 0.125 MiB for both L1i and L1d. It operates at a TDP of 15 W, with a lower 10 W configuration available at 800 MHz, offering excellent thermal efficiency for portable systems. The processor supports DDR4-2400 and LPDDR3-2133 memory types, with a maximum memory capacity of 32 GiB and a peak bandwidth of 35.76 GiB/s across two memory channels.

Integrated graphics are provided by Intel’s UHD Graphics 620, which includes 24 execution units capable of reaching a burst frequency of 1.1 GHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and is capable of handling everyday multimedia, light gaming, and video playback. While not designed for high-end graphics workloads, it enables a capable all-in-one solution for users who do not require a discrete GPU.

The processor supports a broad range of modern features, including AVX, AVX2, AES-NI, Intel VT-x, and Intel Speed Shift, enhancing performance and power management. It also includes hardware virtualization support, making it suitable for virtualization tasks and enterprise environments. The processor’s locked multiplier limits overclocking potential but ensures stability and consistent performance.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-8350U achieves an overall score of 5317, ranking #605 out of 2060 processors, with a single-core score of 5581 (#496) and a multicore score of 4922 (#703). While it is competitive with several modern mobile processors, it trails behind newer generations in both single- and multicore performance. Its strongest category is single-core performance, where it ranks among the top 500 processors globally, demonstrating strong responsiveness in everyday computing.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-8350U remains a reliable option for users prioritizing efficiency and single-threaded performance in ultrabooks and business laptops. While newer processors offer better multitasking capabilities and integrated graphics, the i5-8350U continues to serve well in productivity-focused devices where low power consumption and sustained performance are essential.
