Intel Core 5 330

Intel Core 5 330

The Intel Core 5 330 is a small SoC from the Wildcat Lake family. It uses 6 CPU cores in two clusters. Two fast performance P-cores from the Cougar Cove series clock at 1.5 to 4.6 GHz and four low power E-cores (Darkmont LP architecture) with 1.4 to 3.4 GHz. This makes Wildcat Lake similar to the faster Panther Lake chips. In contrast to the identical Core 5 320, the Core 5 330 supports the Intel Stable IT Platform Program (SIPP) validation program.

Due to the 200 MHz (5%) less core clock, the performance difference to the fastest Wildcat Lake model, the Core 7 360 should be a maximum of 5%. Therefore the mentioned older Core 7 150U CPU should still be beaten by the Core 5 330.

The Core 5 330 supports up to 64 GB DDR5-6400 and has a small Intel Graphics iGPU with 32 EUs. The integrated NPU offers 16 TOPs (Int8).

The TDP is 15W - 35W (Base - Turbo), making the SoC suitable for small laptops and small embedded systems. The CPU chip of the SoC is manufactured in the modern 18A process at Intel.
