Intel Core i3-1315U
The Intel Core i3-1315U is a Core i3 Raptor Lake-U processor aimed at thin-and-light laptops, with 2 Performance cores and 4 Efficient cores (6 cores, 8 threads) boosting to 4.5 GHz. Built on the Intel 7 process with a 15 W base power and 64-EU UHD Graphics, it suits everyday office and web use.
Pros
- Six cores and eight threads within a 15 W base-power envelope
- Up to 4.5 GHz Performance-core boost clock
- Memory support spans DDR5-5200, LPDDR5-5200, DDR4-3200 and LPDDR4X-4267
- Low 15 W base power suits thin-and-light laptop designs
Cons
- Only two Performance cores, so sustained multi-threaded work is limited
- 64-EU UHD Graphics is a basic integrated GPU, not aimed at demanding games
- Intel 7 process is older than the nodes used by newer mobile chips
