Verdict

The Intel Core i5-6360U is a 6th Generation 'Skylake' dual-core mobile processor featuring 4 threads, a 2.0 GHz base frequency, and a 3.1 GHz turbo boost. It is built on a 14nm process with a 15W TDP, making it highly efficient for ultrabooks, and includes 4MB of Smart Cache along with support for up to 32GB of DDR4-2133 or LPDDR3-1866 memory. A major pro is its integrated Intel Iris Graphics 540, which features 64MB of dedicated eDRAM to deliver significantly better graphical performance than standard integrated chips of its era, suitable for light gaming and 4K media playback at 60Hz. However, a notable con is its limited dual-core configuration, which struggles with modern, highly threaded demanding applications and newer AAA gaming titles compared to contemporary quad-core or hexa-core alternatives.
