The Intel Core 5 220U is a mobile (laptop) processor with 10 cores (2 Performance-cores and 8 Efficiency-cores), released in 2025. It is part of the Core 5 lineup, using the Core Series 2 platform, and uses the FCBGA1744 package, which is soldered to the laptop's motherboard rather than socketed. Internally, it is built on the "Raptor Lake-U Refresh" architecture. Only the 2 P-cores support Hyper-Threading, while the 8 E-cores handle a single thread each, together yielding 12 threads: the P-cores tackle latency-sensitive and lightly-threaded work, while the E-cores take on background and highly parallel tasks. The Core 5 220U has a base clock of 1.4 GHz and can boost up to 5 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Raptor Lake-U Refresh" silicon on a Intel 7 process node. This processor supports DDR4/DDR5/LPDDR4X/LPDDR5X memory. With a base TDP of 15W and a minimum assured power 12W, maximum turbo power 55W, which the laptop maker sets to suit its cooling design, the Core 5 220U is an ultra-low-power design aimed at thin-and-light laptops. Integrated graphics are provided by the Graphics solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy includes 12MB of L3 cache.
