Desktop CPU for compact workstations

The Intel Core i5-7300U is a dual-core, four-thread desktop processor built for small-form-factor systems. Its 2.60 GHz base clock and 3.50 GHz maximum turbo frequency handle office productivity and 4K multimedia playback. Integrated TPM 2.0 and UEFI secure boot meet US DoD security requirements. The design targets deployments that need managed, long-life hardware.

Thermals and power in daily use

Rated for energy-saving operation, the chip runs cool enough for fanless or low-profile metal enclosures. Typical workloads stay within a low thermal envelope, keeping acoustic output minimal in quiet offices. The efficient 7th-generation architecture sustains performance without high power draw. This balance suits always-on kiosks and VESA-mounted terminals.

Dual-core with four threads

Two cores and four threads define the concurrency limit for this processor. Buyers needing higher parallel throughput should verify that two physical cores satisfy their workload. The 2.60 GHz base and 3.50 GHz turbo set single-thread and burst performance boundaries. Match the core count to the application before purchase.
