Pentium 2117U Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Pentium 2117U remains a relic from the early days of modern mobile computing, having been released in September 2012 as part of Intel’s Ivy Bridge generation. Designed for the mobile market, this processor is built on a 22 nm process and features a dual-core, dual-thread architecture with a base frequency of 1.8 GHz and a turbo boost up to 2.0 GHz. While it was once a budget-friendly option for light computing tasks, its performance now places it near the bottom of contemporary CPU rankings, reflecting its age and limited capabilities. The Pentium 2117U is packaged in an FCBGA1023 socket and operates at a modest 17 W TDP, making it suitable for low-power laptops where power efficiency was prioritized over performance.

The processor’s integrated Intel HD Graphics provide basic visual output, capable of supporting up to three displays at a maximum frequency of 1.0 GHz, though it is not designed for gaming or graphics-intensive workloads. It supports DDR3 memory at speeds up to 1600 MHz across a dual-channel interface, with a maximum memory capacity of 32 GB. The L3 cache measures 1.9 MB, while the L1 and L2 caches are 0.061 MiB and 0.244 MiB respectively. Despite its modest specifications, the Pentium 2117U includes a range of features such as AES-NI encryption, AVX2 instruction sets, and virtualization technologies like VT-x and VT-d, which were advanced for its time.

In benchmark testing, the Pentium 2117U achieves an overall score of 4185, placing it at #1700 among 2060 processors. Its single-core score of 4117 ranks it #1664, while its multicore score of 4288 positions it at #1791. These results indicate that while the CPU performs slightly above some older dual-core processors, it is significantly outpaced by modern offerings. Its performance is comparable to low-end mobile CPUs like the Celeron 1007U and the Core i3-2367M, but it trails behind higher-tier chips such as the A9-9410 and Athlon 7750. The processor’s weakest category is single-core performance, where it ranks behind many modern budget and mid-range chips.

Given its age and performance limitations, the Pentium 2117U is best suited for legacy systems, basic office tasks, or embedded applications where power consumption and cost are more critical than computational power. It represents a transitional era in Intel’s mobile lineup, bridging the gap between older Atom and Core processors and the more capable designs that followed. For users seeking anything beyond basic productivity, this CPU is no longer viable in the current computing landscape.
