Intel Core i5-470UM Details

Ranked #1945 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Core i5-470UM delivers a modest 3927 overall score, placing it among the lower-tier processors in today's benchmark landscape. Its single-core performance of 3709 ranks slightly higher at #1939, while its multicore score of 4253 sits at #1894—indicating a relatively balanced but underwhelming performance profile. This processor, released in 2011 as part of Intel's Calpella platform, is now over a decade old, making it obsolete by modern standards. Despite its age, the i5-470UM remains a curious case study in early mobile computing, combining a dual-core design with Hyper-Threading to deliver four logical threads in a 32 nm Westmere architecture. Built on the Arrandale microarchitecture, it features 3 MiB of L3 cache, 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, and 0.125 MiB of L1 cache, with a base frequency of 1.33 GHz and a turbo boost up to 1.87 GHz. The chip operates within a 65 W thermal envelope, though its actual TDP is listed as 18 W, reflecting its low-power design for ultra-mobile devices.

The i5-470UM's integrated HD Graphics (Ironlake) GPU provides minimal visual processing capability, with a base frequency of 166 MHz and a maximum burst frequency of 500 MHz, supporting up to two displays. While not suitable for gaming or GPU-intensive workloads, it was adequate for basic multimedia playback and office applications at the time of release. The processor supports DDR3-800 memory at up to 8 GB capacity and features Intel's Enhanced SpeedStep and Turbo Boost 1.0 technologies, allowing dynamic frequency adjustments based on workload. It also includes Intel VT-x and EPT for virtualization support, along with AES-NI encryption acceleration, making it a modestly capable platform for its era.

Despite its historical significance, the i5-470UM struggles in modern benchmarks. It trails behind nearly all contemporary processors, even entry-level models like the Pentium N3700 or A4-5000, which achieve higher scores with more advanced architectures. Its single-core performance is particularly weak compared to today’s standards, with only a few Atom and Sempron processors outperforming it. In multicore workloads, it competes with older dual-core mobile CPUs from the late 2000s and early 2010s, such as the Core 2 Duo T7300 or Celeron 867. The processor's performance is dwarfed by the top-tier CPUs on the list, such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX, which scores over three times higher in multicore performance.

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-470UM has no practical relevance in modern computing. Its low clock speeds, outdated architecture, and limited cache hierarchy make it unsuitable for anything beyond archival or educational purposes. While it represents a significant step in Intel's mobile processor evolution, it now serves more as a benchmarking curiosity than a viable computing solution. For users seeking performance, even a budget desktop or laptop from the past five years would vastly outperform this 13-year-old chip.
