Intel® Core™ i7-3537U

The Intel Core i7-3537U is a laptop processor with 2 cores and 4 threads, built on the Ivy Bridge architecture (22 nm process). It launched in Jan 2013. Clocks run from 2.0 GHz base to 3.1 GHz boost. A 4-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It uses the FCBGA1023 socket. Rated TDP is 17 W.

The Intel Core i7-3537U scores 1,443 in single-core performance and 2,357 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,844 for overall performance, 3,552 for productivity performance, 3,894 for creator performance, 2,195 for engineering performance and 4,918 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,179 per core, 589 per thread and 139 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 447. Its performance index is 23, so its overall performance is 77% 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 i7-3537U scores 8,139 in integer math, 4,126 in floating-point math, 36,728 in compression, 649 in cryptography, 237 in physics simulation, 1,576 in vector SIMD, 14 in the prime sieve and 5,001 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 86% below in integer math, 91% below in floating-point math, 84% below in compression, 94% below in cryptography, 78% below in physics simulation, 90% below in vector SIMD, 79% below in the prime sieve and 78% 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 i7-3537U has 2 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.00 GHz and boosts up to 3.10 GHz.

The Intel Core i7-3537U is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i7 family, uses the Ivy Bridge architecture, carries the codename Ivy Bridge and is manufactured on a 22 nm process. It launched in Jan 2013.

The Intel Core i7-3537U has 128 KB of L1 cache, 512 KB of L2 cache and 4 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 4.6 MB of cache, or 2.31 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i7-3537U has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 128 KB, L2 at 512 KB and L3 at 4 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 86% of the cache listed here.
