Core M 5Y10c Details

The Core M 5Y10c, released by Intel in 2015, is a mobile processor based on the Broadwell Y microarchitecture, designed for ultra-low-power laptops and fanless devices. As of early 2026, it stands as a legacy component in the broader landscape of modern computing, offering a blend of efficiency and modest performance that reflects its era. While no longer competitive with today’s high-performance CPUs, it remains notable for its integration of advanced features into a 4.5 W thermal envelope. With a dual-core, quad-thread design and a base clock of 800 MHz, the processor leverages Intel’s 14 nm process to deliver efficient performance suitable for light productivity and multimedia consumption.

The Core M 5Y10c features 4 MiB of L3 cache and 512 KiB of L2 cache, supporting fast data access while maintaining power efficiency. It supports up to 16 GB of DDR3L or LPDDR3 memory, with a maximum bandwidth of 21.3 GB/s, enabling smooth operation for everyday tasks. The processor’s integrated Intel HD Graphics 5300 GPU operates at a base frequency of 300 MHz and can boost to 800 MHz, capable of driving a single display with support for up to four outputs. This makes it suitable for basic graphics work, video playback, and light creative applications.

Key technologies include Intel’s Enhanced SpeedStep and Turbo Boost 2.0, allowing dynamic frequency scaling between 600 MHz (at 3.5 W) and 2000 MHz (at 6 W), optimizing performance and battery life. The processor supports AES-NI, AVX, AVX2, and other instruction sets, enhancing encryption and multimedia processing. Despite its age, it remains a reliable option for embedded systems and thin-and-light devices where thermal constraints are critical.

In benchmark testing, the Core M 5Y10c achieves an Overall Score of 4536, ranking #1249 out of 2060 CPUs, with a Singlecore Score of 4577 (#1228) and a Multicore Score of 4474 (#1278). Its single-core performance is particularly competitive, placing it ahead of several older Xeon and Pentium models, while its multicore performance lags behind modern quad-cores. This indicates a strength in single-threaded workloads but limited scalability for multithreaded applications.

The Core M 5Y10c finds its niche in lightweight computing environments where power efficiency and low heat output are prioritized over raw performance. While it cannot match the capabilities of current-generation processors, its design reflects Intel’s early push into ultra-low-power mobile computing, offering a balance of performance and thermal efficiency that made it a viable choice for early ultrabooks and embedded platforms.
