Which one has better performance, Intel Core i5-5257U processor or Intel Core i5-6200U processor?

Both Intel Core i5-5257U and i5-6200U processors are products of Intel Core i5 series, and the main differences between the two are as follows:

• Cache: Core i5-5257U has a 3-MB L3 cache, and the L3 cache size of Core i5-6200U is also 3 MB. The cache capacity has a certain impact on the performance of the processor, and a larger cache can improve the data reading speed, thereby enhancing the response performance of the system.
• Base frequency and turbo frequency: The base frequency of Core i5-5257U is 2.7 GHz, and the turbo frequency is 3.1 GHz; the base frequency of Core i5-6200U is 2.3 GHz, and the turbo frequency is 2.8 GHz. The base frequency indicates the working speed of the processor, and the turbo frequency is the frequency that the processor can automatically increase when needed. Therefore, Core i5-5257U may be slightly higher in single-core performance than i5-6200U.
• Manufacturing process: Both Core i5-5257U and i5-6200U adopt the 14-nanometer manufacturing process.
• Power consumption: The TDP (thermal design power) of Core i5-5257U is 28 W, and the TDP of Core i5-6200U is 15 W. The lower the TDP indicates that the processor consumes less electric energy during operation, so i5-6200U performs better in terms of power consumption.
• Performance: Core i5-5257U may be slightly higher in single-core performance than i5-6200U, but the performance gap between the two is not very large. In actual use, the performance of the processor will also be affected by other factors such as memory, hard disk, and graphics card.

In general, the difference in performance between Core i5-5257U and i5-6200U processors is small. Core i5-5257U may be slightly higher in single-core performance, while i5-6200U performs better in terms of power consumption. If you need higher single-core performance, you can choose Core i5-5257U; if you have requirements for power consumption, you can choose Core i5-6200U.
