Intel Core i5-560UM Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-560UM occupies a niche position in the historical landscape of mobile processors, representing a transitional era in Intel’s mobile architecture. While it is no longer competitive with modern CPUs, its design reflects a strategic balance between performance, power efficiency, and integration that was relevant during its time. Built on the Westmere microarchitecture at a 32 nm process, the i5-560UM was part of Intel's Calpella platform and aimed at mainstream mobile computing needs, particularly for thin-and-light laptops requiring integrated graphics and low power consumption.

The processor features two cores with four threads, enabled by Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, and operates at a base clock of 1.33 GHz with a turbo frequency of up to 2.13 GHz. This allows for improved multitasking and responsiveness under load, though its performance is limited by its age and modest cache hierarchy. It includes 0.125 MiB of L1 cache, 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, and a 3 MiB shared L3 cache, which helps maintain efficient data access across cores. The 64-bit x86-64 instruction set and support for modern extensions like SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AES-NI ensure compatibility with contemporary software, albeit at reduced efficiency compared to newer designs.

Thermally, the i5-560UM is rated at a 18 W TDP, making it suitable for passive cooling solutions and extended battery life in portable devices. It supports DDR3-800 memory across two channels, with a maximum capacity of 8 GB and a peak memory bandwidth of 11.92 GiB/s. The processor integrates Intel HD Graphics (Ironlake), featuring 12 execution units and a base frequency of 166 MHz, capable of boosting to 500 MHz. It supports up to two displays and is adequate for light multimedia tasks, but lacks the power for modern gaming or video editing.

In benchmark testing, the i5-560UM scores 3776 overall, placing it at #2028 out of 2060 CPUs, with single-core and multicore scores of 3471 and 4233, respectively. These results place it just below average among its contemporaries, trailing behind newer low-power processors like the Intel Atom x5-Z8300 and AMD E-450, though it outperforms some older designs. Its weakest category is single-core performance, where it ranks near the bottom of the pack, indicating limited suitability for applications that rely heavily on high clock speeds.

Despite its limitations, the i5-560UM remains a viable option for basic computing tasks such as web browsing, office productivity, and media playback in legacy systems. Its integration of Intel vPro and Trusted Execution Technology also makes it relevant in enterprise environments requiring remote management and security features. While far from the cutting edge, the processor exemplifies Intel’s efforts to deliver balanced performance in mobile computing during the late 2000s and early 2010s.
