Verdict

The Intel Core m3-8114Y is an ultra-low-voltage dual-core processor from the 10nm Cannon Lake-Y family, featuring 4 threads, a 1.5 GHz base clock, and a boost frequency of approximately 2.2 GHz. Designed for fanless tablets and entry-level notebooks, it operates with a highly efficient 4.5W TDP and includes integrated Intel UHD Graphics alongside support for LPDDR4 memory. Its main pros include exceptional energy efficiency for silent, fanless designs and a modern 10nm manufacturing process that balances portability with basic productivity. However, its primary cons are its limited performance for demanding tasks like gaming or heavy multitasking and its relatively low clock speeds compared to higher-tier Core i-series mobile processors.
