What the Core M-5Y10 is
The Core M-5Y10 opens Broadwell-Y on BGA 1234 for fanless 2 in 1 devices. It runs 2 cores and 4 threads at 800 MHz base with turbo to 2.0 GHz. Four megabytes of Smart Cache cover office multitasking. Power is 4.5 W on 14 nm from September 2014.
Low base clocks stretch battery in detachables while turbo covers bursts. HD Graphics 5300 drives high resolution panels for office work. The 4.5 W envelope with 4 W idle points suits sealed bodies. The soldered package means buyers choose configuration once.
LPDDR3 and DDR3L over two channels to 16 GB feed cores and graphics. The 5Y10 covers first wave Core M devices where battery life matters more than burst speed.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 5Y10 solders to BGA 1234 at 30 × 16.5 mm with fanless cooling for 4.5 W. No swap exists. Launch devices pair it with SSDs and high DPI displays. Soldered memory locks configs.
Broadwell-Y boards use SoC I/O throughout. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide explains soldered thin limits.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
LPDDR3-1600 and DDR3L-1600 over two channels to 16 GB suit premium thin bodies. Soldered LPDDR3 dominates detachables. Dual channel feeds HD 5300 video calls.
PCIe 2.0 with 12 lanes serves SSDs and radios. Thin SSDs match the power budget. Most builds stay on integrated graphics.
Cooling is passive spreading for 4.5 W. Turbo to 2.0 GHz trims with heat. Thin bodies throttle first.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the Intel Core M-5Y70 at 1.1 GHz to 2.6 GHz above adds turbo for similar power, while the Intel Core M-5Y10a matches clocks nearby. All share BGA-1234.
Skylake-Y Core m parts cover newer thin devices. The 5Y10 holds launch Core M duty.
