Intel’s Core 5 220U, launched in June 2024, is based on the Raptor Lake-U architecture with 10 cores and 12 threads. This processor is manufactured on a 10nm production node and operates at a base frequency of 1500 MHz, which can be boosted up to 5 GHz. It has 12 MB L3 cache and an integrated graphics solution of Iris Xe Graphics 80EU.
The Core 5 220U supports hardware virtualization and IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough), which improves the performance of virtual machines. It connects to other components via a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection. Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) and AVX2 technologies make it suitable for compute-intensive applications, although it does not have support for AVX-512.
With Hyper-Threading technology, the Core 5 220U is a great choice for multitasking and virtualization. This processor is designed for modern mobile device users who demand balanced performance and energy efficiency.
