Intel Core 5 205H
The Intel Core 5 205H is a Raptor Lake-based mobile processor in Intel's Core Series 2 line, pairing 4 Performance cores with 4 Efficient cores (8 cores, 12 threads) and a 4.8 GHz maximum turbo. Its integrated graphics are disabled, so it is meant for systems with a discrete GPU. Intel rates it at 45 W base power and 115 W maximum turbo power.
Pros
- Eight cores and 12 threads from 4 Performance and 4 Efficient cores
- Up to 4.8 GHz Performance-core turbo frequency
- 12 MB Intel Smart Cache and support for up to 96 GB of memory
- Wide memory support: DDR5, DDR4, LPDDR5/X and LPDDR4X
- PCIe 5.0 support from the processor
Cons
- Integrated graphics are disabled, so a discrete GPU is required
- Raptor Lake cores on the Intel 7 process rather than a newer Core Ultra architecture
- Eight cores and 12 threads sit below the 10-core, 16-thread Core 7 230H and 240H
- Up to 115 W maximum turbo power calls for capable cooling
