What the Core M-5Y10c is
The Core M-5Y10c is an October 2014 Broadwell-Y part on BGA 1234 for second wave Core M 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 work. Power is 4.5 W on 14 nm with 6 W configurable up tuning at 1 GHz.
The configurable up mode lifts guaranteed clocks where cooling allows. HD Graphics 5300 up to 800 MHz drives detachable panels. Battery life still leads over bursts in thin bodies. The soldered package means device choice locks everything.
LPDDR3 and DDR3L over two channels to 16 GB feed cores and graphics. The 5Y10c covers autumn 2014 2 in 1 devices with refined firmware over launch steppings.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 5Y10c solders to BGA 1234 with fanless cooling for 4.5 W. No swap exists. Second wave devices pair it with faster SSDs. Soldered memory locks configs.
SoC radios and storage serve peripherals. 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 thin bodies. Dual channel feeds HD 5300. Modest memory covers launch era apps.
PCIe 2.0 with 12 lanes serves SSDs and Wi-Fi. Thin SSDs match the power budget. Most builds stay integrated.
Cooling is passive spreading for 4.5 W with 6 W up tuning where bodies allow. Turbo trims with heat.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the Intel Core M-5Y10 from September below matches clocks, while the Intel Core M-5Y31 at 900 MHz to 2.4 GHz above adds turbo. All share BGA-1234.
Skylake-Y covers newer thin duty. The 5Y10c holds October Core M value.
