Intel Core 5 220H

The Intel Core 5 220H is a mid-range mobile CPU for laptops of the Raptor Lake-H refresh 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 all 8 efficient cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores support Hyper-Threading for 16 threads when combined with the E-cores. The clock rates range from 2.7 to 4.9 GHz (single core boost, all core up to 4.7 GHz) on the performance cluster and 2 to 3.7 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 can use up to 18 MB L3 cache.

Compared to the similar but older Core i5-13600H, the Core 5 220H is a slightly higher clocked version.

Performance

Thanks to the higher clock speeds, the Core 5 220H can surpass the old Core i5-13600H (e.g., + 100 MHz boost).

Features

The integrated memory controller supports various memory types up to DDR5-5200. 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 80 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.
