Intel Core i3-1315UE

The Intel Core i3-1315UE is a 6-core, 8-thread mobile processor from Intel, built on the Raptor Lake architecture and the 10 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 1200.00 MHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, with a TDP of 15W. The chip uses the Intel BGA 1744 socket, supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus, and integrates UHD Graphics with 64EU. Its cache layout includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 10 MB of shared L3. The production status is Active, and the release date is 2023-01-03.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i3-1315UE posts an average benchmark score of 2175, which places it in the 49th percentile of all CPUs in the database. That is a mid-field result, and the Cinebench scores reinforce the picture. In Cinebench R23, the processor scores 7521 in the multi-core test and 1061 in the single-core test. Those two numbers show that the chip delivers substantially more throughput when all threads are engaged than when only one core is active.

Cinebench R20 results follow the same pattern: a multi-core score of 3158 against a single-core score of 445. The older Cinebench R15 workload also shows the same balance, with 757 multi-core and 106 single-core. Across all three Cinebench versions, the multi-core results are consistently far above the single-core results. The R23 result of 7521 is a particularly strong showing for a processor whose average benchmark score sits at 2175.

The nearest rival group is extremely tight. The Intel Core i5-1038NG7 records the same average score of 2175, and the deltaPct is 0. The AMD Ryzen 5 3400GE also averages 2175, again with a deltaPct of 0. The Intel Core i5-9500T moves ahead to 2177, carrying a deltaPct of -0.1, and the Intel Core i7-1185GRE leads the listed group at 2181 with a deltaPct of -0.3. That means the i3-1315UE sits within a narrow performance band around these four rivals, no more than 0.3% behind the strongest scorer in the group.

Benchmark results indicate that the i3-1315UE is not a high-end outlier. Its 49th percentile ranking and average score of 2175 put it in the same class as the closest competitors, and the Cinebench numbers confirm that it is a balanced mid-tier mobile part rather than a specialist single-core or multi-core part.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The single-core and multi-core Cinebench scores tell a clear story about workload behavior. In Cinebench R23, the single-core score of 1061 is modest, while the multi-core score of 7521 is far larger. The R20 test shows the same relationship: 445 single-core versus 3158 multi-core. In R15, the single-core score is 106 and the multi-core score is 757. The consistent pattern across all three benchmarks means the processor is designed to perform better when multiple threads are in use.

The 6-core, 8-thread configuration provides the foundation for that multi-threaded performance. With 8 threads available to the operating system, threaded workloads can spread across more logical paths than the physical core count alone might suggest. The multi-core scores in Cinebench are the direct result of that thread capacity. The boost clock of 4.50 GHz is the relevant figure for lightly threaded work, since a single core can reach that speed while the rest of the chip idles. The base clock of 1200.00 MHz represents the lower sustained operating point, but the single-core benchmark scores show that the chip can ramp well above that baseline for individual threads.

For real workloads, the split means that single-thread-bound applications will rely heavily on the 4.50 GHz boost clock, while multi-threaded applications will lean on the 6-core, 8-thread design. The R23 gap between 1061 single-core and 7521 multi-core is large, and the R20 gap between 445 and 3158 is similarly large. A processor with a more single-core-oriented design would show a smaller difference between the two numbers. The i3-1315UE instead shows a substantial multi-core advantage, making it better suited to workloads that can use all available threads.

The behavior is consistent across Cinebench versions. R15 single-core of 106 versus multi-core of 757, R20 single-core of 445 versus multi-core of 3158, and R23 single-core of 1061 versus multi-core of 7521 all reflect the same underlying design. The single-thread scores are not weak in absolute terms, but the multi-core scores are clearly the more impressive part of the profile.

Power and Thermals

The TDP is 15W, which puts the Core i3-1315UE in the low-power mobile class. This is a modest power envelope for a 6-core, 8-thread processor, and it implies that cooling solutions designed for thin-and-light mobile systems should be able to handle this chip. The 10 nm process node from Intel is part of the reason the chip can maintain a 15W TDP while still offering a 4.50 GHz boost clock.

The difference between the 1200.00 MHz base clock and the 4.50 GHz boost clock is significant. At base clock, the processor can stay within a low-power operating state, while the boost clock represents the upper performance range for short or lightly threaded bursts. Sustained multi-threaded workloads will exercise more of the chip, but the 15W TDP remains the specified thermal design point.

The processor uses the Intel BGA 1744 socket, which is consistent with a mobile form factor. The integrated UHD Graphics 64EU is part of the same chip package, so any thermal solution must account for both CPU and graphics load, but the 15W TDP keeps the total thermal load in a modest range. The multiplier is not unlocked, so user-controlled overclocking is not part of the thermal picture.

The production status is Active, meaning the processor is still in the current lineup. For system integrators, a 15W TDP with a 10 nm process and a locked multiplier points to a straightforward thermal design: a low-power mobile cooling solution should be sufficient. The benchmark results do not suggest any extreme power demands, and the Cinebench scores are consistent with a chip that operates within a conservative power envelope.
