The Intel Core i5-7Y54 is a direct successor to the Core m5-6Y54 (Skylake) SoC offering a slight improvement in terms of performance and power efficiency over the latter. It’s part of the Kaby Lake generation (7th Generation) using the same architecture as we saw in Broadwell and Skylake chips, although, Intel markets the improved architecture by naming it 14nm+.
Aside from the identical features to the last generation that the SoC offers such as HyperThreading, the clock speeds have been increased significantly. While the Core m5-6Y54 was clocked at 1.1 – 2.7 GHz, the newer i5-7Y54 can go from 1.2 to 3.2 GHz.
The SoC also incorporates an Intel HD Graphics 615 (clocked at 300 – 950 MHz) – just like the rest of the KBL-Y chips – and supports LPDDR3-1866 memory. The whole SoC is rated at 4.5W including the memory controller making it suitable for fanless, ultra thin tablets, notebooks and 2-in-1 devices.
