What the Core i5-5350H is
The Core i5-5350H is the dual core Broadwell-H option for performance laptops on BGA 1364. Intel set two cores and four threads at 3.1 GHz base with turbo to 3.5 GHz. Four megabytes of cache cover office and school work with high clocks. Power is 47 W on 14 nm from March 2015.
High base clocks suit thin performance bodies where two fast cores beat four slow ones in everyday apps. Turbo to 3.5 GHz keeps UI snappy. Hyper-Threading covers background tasks. The chip solders to the board, so laptop choice locks performance.
Graphics are Iris Pro Graphics 6200 with eDRAM support on H boards, driving laptop panels and external displays. DDR3L and LPDDR3 over two channels feed the system. Buyers meet it in 14 inch performance notebooks where battery and weight cap core count.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 5350H solders to BGA 1364 with laptop cooling for 47 W. No socket and no later swap exist. Shoppers choose display, memory and SSD at purchase. Some boards allow SSD and Wi-Fi changes later, but the CPU never moves.
Mobile chipsets pair with Broadwell-H rather than desktop Z97. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide covers soldered laptop limits. Check service manuals for storage access before buying.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3L-1600 and 1866 plus LPDDR3 to 32 GB over two channels suit laptop use. Matched SODIMM pairs help graphics. Eight gigabytes covers school work, sixteen helps creation. ECC is absent.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU feeds a discrete GPU option or NVMe storage plus radios. Many 5350H laptops use integrated graphics alone for battery. A Gen3 SSD is the best feel upgrade.
Cooling is laptop heat pipes and fans for 47 W with no boxed cooler. Thin bodies throttle first under long loads. Cooling pads and clean vents help sustained turbo.
Upgrade paths
No CPU upgrade exists on BGA-1364 laptops. Shoppers compare quad Intel Core i7-5700HQ above with four cores and eight threads at the same 47 W for heavier work. All share package and memory, so core count decides.
A new laptop means a new platform. The How to find your CPU socket type guide helps confirm soldered designs.
