The Core i5-8250U model:family_text, developed by Intel engineers, expanded the range of desktop solutions :year_text. The hardware foundation of the die is based on 14 nm manufacturing norms, ensuring high transistor density. The compatible motherboards connector is supported. The computational arsenal of this model includes 4 cores, capable of executing 8 instruction threads simultaneously. In standard mode, the chip operates at 1.6 GHz. Automatic overclocking algorithms allow the chip to accelerate up to 3.4 GHz when the system demands it. For fast data exchange, 6 MB of third-level cache memory (L3) is provided. The manufacturer indicates heat dissipation at 15 W in standard operating mode. While Core i5-8250U is not positioned as a flagship gaming solution, it is quite capable of handling popular games at medium settings when combined with a discrete graphics card.
