The Intel Core 5 210H is a mid-range mobile CPU for laptops of the Raptor Lake-H series (Alder Lake architecture). It was announced in late 2024 and offers 4 of the 6 performance cores possible (P-cores, Golden Cove architecture) and 4 of the 8 efficient cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores support Hyper-Threading making for 12 processing threads when combined with the E-cores. The clock rates range from 2.2 to 4.8 GHz (single core boost) on the performance cluster and 1.6 to 3.6 GHz on the efficient cluster. The performance of the E-cores should be similar to old Skylake cores (comparable to the Core i7-6700HQ). All cores have access to the 12 MB L3 cache.
Compared to the old Core i5-13420H, the Core 5 210H offers slightly higher clock speeds (e.g. boost core speeds + 200 MHz).
Performance
Thanks to the higher clock speeds, the Core 5 210H can surpass the old Core i5-13420H, especially in single threaded workloads.
Features
The integrated memory controller supports various memory types up to DDR5-5200 (up from DDR5-4800 of the i5-12500H). The Thread Director (in hardware) can help the operating system to decide which thread to use on the performance or efficient cores for the best performance. For AI tasks, the CPU also integrates GNA 3.0 and DL Boost (via AVX2). Quick Sync in version 8 is the same as in the Rocket Lake CPUs and supports MPEG-2, AVC, VC-1 decode, JPEG, VP8 decode, VP9, HEVC, and AV1 decode in hardware. The CPU now supports PCIe 5.0 x8 for a GPU and two PCIe 4.0 x4 for SSDs.
The integrated graphics adapter is based on the Xe architecture and offers 48 of the 96 EUs (Execution Units) possible.
The CPU is rated at 45 W base power (115 W PL2) but most laptops will use a PL1 of around 60 Watt. The SoC is manufactured on an improved 10nm process at Intel, which is known as Intel 7.
