The Intel Core i5-1230U is a mobile (laptop) processor with 10 cores (2 Performance-cores and 8 Efficiency-cores), released in 2022. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the 12th Gen platform, and uses the FCBGA1781 package, which is soldered to the laptop's motherboard rather than socketed. Internally, it is built on the "Alder Lake-U" 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 i5-1230U has a base clock of 1 GHz and can boost up to 4.4 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Alder Lake-U" silicon on a Intel 7 process node. This processor supports DDR4/DDR5/LPDDR4X/LPDDR5 memory. With a base TDP of 9W the Core i5-1230U is an ultra-low-power design aimed at thin-and-light laptops. Integrated graphics are provided by the Iris Xe Graphics solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy includes 12MB of L3 cache.
