Verdict

The Intel Core m3-7Y30 is an ultra-low-power dual-core SoC from the Kaby Lake architecture, featuring 2 cores, 4 threads, and a 4 MB L3 cache. It operates at a base frequency of 1.0 GHz with a Max Turbo frequency of 2.6 GHz and includes integrated Intel HD Graphics 615. Its primary advantages are extreme power efficiency with a TDP of just 4.5W and a fanless design, making it ideal for thin tablets and passively cooled notebooks. However, its performance significantly drops under sustained workloads due to thermal throttling, and it is officially unsupported for Windows 11.
