Core i5-10210Y

The Core i5-10210Y is a 4-core / 8-thread processor based on the Comet Lake-Y (2019) architecture, manufactured on a 14 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 4 GHz from a base frequency of 1 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 6 MB (total) of L3 cache, plus 256K (per core) of L2 cache and 64K (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 4,131, placing it in the Entry Level performance tier as a Legacy generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 1,079, while multi-core reaches 2,380.

The Core i5-10210Y fits into the UTFCBGA1377 socket and supports PCIe 3.0 with 10 total PCIe lanes for expansion cards and storage. It supports DDR3 memory at speeds up to LPDDR3 2133 MHz (faster RAM improves bandwidth-sensitive workloads), with a maximum capacity of 16 GB across 2 channels (dual-channel doubles bandwidth). Integrated graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 615 — allows display output without a dedicated GPU, useful for troubleshooting and light tasks.

The Core i5-10210Y is primarily designed for Mobile Low Power. Virtualization: true — enables running virtual machines efficiently (important for development and server workloads).

The Core i5-10210Y has a rated TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 7 Watt — this indicates the amount of heat generated under sustained load and determines what cooling solution is needed.

Performance ranking position: #1994 out of all indexed processors.
