Intel Pentium 2117U

The Intel Pentium 2117U is an Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) dual core processor for entry-level laptops. It is based on the Ivy Bridge architecture but many of the features like Turbo Boost, Virtualization VT-d, HyperThreading, AES or Trusted Execution are deactivated. The Pentium 2117U integrates a graphics card called Intel HD Graphics that is based on the HD Graphics 2500.

The performance of the Pentium 2117U is slightly above a similar clocked Sandy Bridge Pentium CPU. Therefore, the performance is just slightly below the 2.0 GHz Pentium B940.

The 17W TDP rating includes the integrated GPU and memory controller and therefore the 2117U is suited for small subnotebooks.

Reviews for the Intel Pentium 2117U processor

Review Asus R510CA-CJ862H Notebook

Review Asus R510CA-CJ862H Notebook

Temptation in red. From the technological point of view, the R510CA offers nothing more than your standard features. Noteworthy are the touchscreen and large hard drive. But the computer's big attraction is its red attire.

Review Asus F550CA-XX078D Notebook

Energy efficient and quiet. Asus has with the F550CA-XX078D the appropriate offer for those who cannot or simply do not want to spend a lot on a notebook, . For almost 320 Euros (~$433) the buyer gets a 15.6-inch notebook with ULV processor and 500 GB hard-drive. A Windows operating system is not included in the scope of delivery. Our review reveals if Asus has a convincing offer on its hands.

Review Samsung ATIV Book 2 - 270E5E Notebook

Energy saver. A work device runs the whole day - so it would be nice if it were energy efficient and also easy on your wallet. The ATIV Book does just that and concentrates on office basics like a matte display, good input devices and low emissions. Are we perfectly happy?

Review Update Lenovo IdeaPad S300-MA14CGE Notebook

Down to earth. No gaming ambitions, no high-performance: Lenovo's IdeaPad S300-MA14CGE simply wants to be a slim, lightweight computer that manages everyday tasks on the go. Our review update reveals whether it does this well.

Review Gigabyte U2142-2117U Convertible

Conservative. A twist-and-tilt hinge, a matte display, large input devices and a Pentium processor - this doesn't sound like a truly exciting combination. But the manufacturer manages to combine this traditional approach with a slim, sleek chassis. So does Gigabyte stand a chance against the many competing sliders and convertibles?
