Intel Core i5-1240U

The Intel Core i5-1240U, released in Q1 2022, is a laptop processor from the Alder Lake U family, fabricated with a 10 nm process. This CPU features a hybrid architecture with 2 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, totaling 10 cores and 12 threads. The performance cores have a base frequency of 1.1GHz and can turbo up to 4.4GHz, while the efficiency cores start at 0.8GHz and reach up to 3.3GHz. With a thermal design power (TDP) of just 9W, it can ramp up to 29W under turbo conditions, making it energy-efficient. The i5-1240U supports up to 64GB of various types of RAM, including LPDDR5-5200 and DDR4-3200, with a maximum memory bandwidth of 83.2GB/s. Integrated graphics are handled by the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80, operating between 0.25GHz and 0.9GHz. It includes 6.5MB of L2 cache and 12MB of L3 cache, and supports PCIe 4.0 with 28 lanes, offering robust connectivity for various peripherals.
