Intel® Core™ i5-7442EQ

The Intel Core i5-7442EQ is a embedded processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Kaby Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Jan 2017. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 2.9 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1440 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 25 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i5-7442EQ scores 1,819 in single-core performance and 4,834 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,965 for overall performance, 5,689 for productivity performance, 5,933 for creator performance, 4,653 for engineering performance and 6,666 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,209 per core, 1,209 per thread and 193 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 593. Its performance index is 37, so its overall performance is 63% 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.

Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Core i5-7442EQ.

The Intel Core i5-7442EQ has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boosts up to 2.90 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-7442EQ is a embedded processor, belongs to the Intel Core i5 family, uses the Kaby Lake architecture, carries the codename Kaby Lake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jan 2017.

The Intel Core i5-7442EQ has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 7.3 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i5-7442EQ has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 6 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i5-7442EQ supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 64 GB of memory, uses 2 memory channels, runs memory at up to 2,400 MT/s and delivers up to 38.4 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Core i5-7442EQ includes integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 630) and clocks the graphics up to 1.00 GHz.
