Intel® Core™ i3-5010U

The Intel Core i3-5010U is a laptop processor with 2 cores and 4 threads, built on the Broadwell architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Jan 2015. A 3-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). Maximum addressable memory is 16 GB. The chip drops into the FCBGA1168 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (12 lanes). Rated TDP is 15 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i3-5010U scores 1,198 in single-core performance and 2,142 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,602 for overall performance, 3,070 for productivity performance, 3,335 for creator performance, 1,995 for engineering performance and 4,130 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,071 per core, 536 per thread and 143 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 414. Its performance index is 20, so its overall performance is 80% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i3-5010U scores 6,801 in integer math, 4,503 in floating-point math, 30,178 in compression, 565 in cryptography, 209 in physics simulation, 1,923 in vector SIMD, 11 in the prime sieve and 3,799 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 88% below in integer math, 90% below in floating-point math, 87% below in compression, 95% below in cryptography, 81% below in physics simulation, 88% below in vector SIMD, 84% below in the prime sieve and 83% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i3-5010U has 2 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.10 GHz.
