Intel Core i7 4500U

1.8 GHz
Dual core

6 Out of 10

If we throw 35W Trinity into the mix, HD 4400 gets closer but it's still far away from 35W Trinity performance.

Reasons to buy the M 5Y70

Supports trusted computing

Yes

Newly branded as the Core M line, Broadwell-Y is meant to target the market looking for similar performance of today's ultra-low voltage Haswell processors but with longer battery life and more efficient designs.

It's funny how you say "no winner declared" yet the bars clearly show that the i7 out perfroms the M. The only real benefit of the M is lower power consumption and lower heat so that laptops can go fanless etc.

Matthew (11:43 PM, March 15, 2015)

Not sure that the Power consumption comparison is presented accurately? The graph implies that the Core M gets a higher score for "How much power does the processor require?" - meaning (I assume) it requires less power (as borne out in the detail comparison (3.3 times less power). What the graph confusing indicates is that the Core M gets a higher score for *using* more power. Perhaps the category needs a explanation (A higher score means less power consumption) or the like to make it clearer. Thanks!
