Intel i5-7200U SR342 FJ8067702739739

Intel i5-7200U SR342 FJ8067702739739 is a low-voltage processor for mobile devices released in 2016.

It is based on the Kaby Lake architecture, featuring 2 cores and 4 threads, with a base frequency of 2.5GHz, a maximum turbo frequency of up to 3.1GHz, and a cache of 3MB.

In practical applications, this processor can meet the daily task requirements such as running general office software, web browsing, and multimedia playback. However, due to its relatively small number of cores and threads, it may encounter performance bottlenecks when handling multitasking, large and complex software, or applications with high CPU performance requirements.

For light games and some less complex graphic processing tasks, its performance is acceptable. But for large 3D games and professional-level graphic design, it may be insufficient.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Intel i5-7200U?

   The advantages of Intel i5-7200U include:

• Low power consumption: The TDP is only 15W, which helps extend the battery life of laptops and is suitable for users who need mobile office and study.
  ·Good balance between performance and power consumption: It can meet the basic daily usage needs while controlling power consumption well.
  ·Good cost performance: When it was launched, it had a certain price advantage compared to other processors of the same level and was suitable for consumers with certain performance requirements but limited budgets.
  ·Acceptable core display performance: The equipped Intel HD Graphics 620 graphics card has a base frequency of 300MHz and a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.00GHz, which can meet some daily graphic processing needs.
  ·Rich supported technologies: It supports technologies such as Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, Hyper-Threading Technology, and Intel Optane Memory.

Its main disadvantages are:

• Relatively limited performance: After all, it is a dual-core processor and is relatively weak in multi-core performance. It may struggle with some large games and high-load professional software, and it is also difficult to exert its true performance when the heat dissipation is not good.

Overall, Intel i5-7200U is a processor targeted at the mid-range market, suitable for general usage scenarios such as daily office work, web browsing, and video watching. But when dealing with more complex or tasks with high performance requirements, it may not perform strongly enough. Its performance is relatively backward in the current (2024) market, and new laptop products usually come with newer and more powerful processors. If you need to run large professional software or pursue higher gaming performance, you may need to consider higher-level processors. But if your usage requirements are simple and you focus on the portability and battery life of the laptop, then laptops equipped with i5-7200U can still meet your needs. When purchasing, other factors such as memory, storage, graphics card configuration, and the overall quality, price, and brand of the laptop also need to be comprehensively considered.
