Core M3-7Y30 Details

Ranking #1195 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Core M3-7Y30 offers a modest entry into the mobile computing space, particularly for users prioritizing power efficiency over raw speed. Released in 2016 as part of Intel’s Kaby Lake Y series, this processor is now over seven years old, placing it firmly in the legacy category. Despite its age, it remains relevant in ultra-portable devices where low power consumption and thermal efficiency are paramount.

Built on a 14 nm process and based on the Kaby Lake microarchitecture, the Core M3-7Y30 features two cores with four threads, enabled by Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology. It operates at a base frequency of 1.0 GHz, with a turbo frequency reaching up to 2.6 GHz, allowing for brief bursts of performance when needed. The chip is packaged in a compact FCBGA-1515 socket and maintains a very low TDP of 4.5 W, with the ability to scale down to 3.75 W at 600 MHz for extended battery life.

The processor supports up to 16 GB of DDR3L-1600 or LPDDR3-1866 memory across two channels, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 27.81 GiB/s. It includes 4 MiB of L3 cache and 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, with 0.0625 MiB each of L1 instruction and data cache. Integrated into the chip is the Intel HD Graphics 615, which includes 24 execution units and can boost to 900 MHz, supporting up to three displays and offering basic multimedia and light gaming capabilities.

In benchmark testing, the Core M3-7Y30 achieves a single-core score of 4741, ranking #1123 of 2060, and a multicore score of 4380, placing it at #1503. Its overall score of 4597 reflects its position as a low-power, dual-core solution that competes with early 2010s-era mobile processors. While it outperforms several older Intel and AMD models, it falls significantly behind modern CPUs, especially in multi-threaded workloads.

The processor supports a wide range of features, including AES-NI, AVX2, Intel Speed Shift, Enhanced SpeedStep, and Intel VT-x, ensuring compatibility with contemporary software and virtualization environments. However, its age means it lacks support for newer technologies like DDR5 or PCIe 4.0.

As of March 2026, the Core M3-7Y30 is best suited for light productivity tasks, web browsing, and media playback in ultra-slim laptops or 2-in-1 devices where battery life and thermal performance are critical. It remains a viable option for users upgrading older systems or in embedded applications where low power draw is essential, but it is not competitive in performance-intensive scenarios.
