m3-8114Y Clock Speeds
Base and boost frequencies
Clock speed is a critical factor in Core m3-8114Y benchmark performance, measured in GHz. The base clock represents the guaranteed operating frequency, while the boost clock indicates maximum single-core performance under optimal conditions. Higher clock speeds translate to faster single-threaded performance, which is essential for gaming and applications that don't fully utilize multiple cores. The Core m3-8114Y by Intel can dynamically adjust its frequency based on workload and thermal headroom.
Intel's Core m3-8114Y Cache Hierarchy
L1, L2, L3 cache sizes
Cache memory is ultra-fast storage built directly into the m3-8114Y processor die. L1 cache provides the fastest access for frequently used data, while L2 and L3 caches offer progressively larger storage with slightly higher latency. Larger cache sizes significantly improve CPU benchmark scores by reducing memory access times. The Core m3-8114Y's cache configuration is optimized for both gaming performance and productivity workloads, minimizing data fetch delays during intensive computations.

About Intel Core m3-8114Y
The Intel Core m3-8114Y is a mobile processor listed under the Core m3 (Cannon Lake-Y) generation. It belongs to Intel’s Cannon Lake architecture, is built on the 10 nm process, and is packaged for Intel BGA 1440. The record lists 2 cores, 4 threads, a 1500.00 MHz base clock, a 2.20 GHz boost clock, and a TDP of 5 W. Integrated graphics are UHD Graphics, memory support is DDR4 on a dual-channel bus, and the CPU provides PCIe Gen 3 with 10 lanes. Its benchmark fields are empty: the benchmarks list has no entries, avgBenchmarkScore is 0, percentileVsAllCpus is 50, and nearestRivals is empty.
Who Should Consider It
The absence of measured scores makes workload guidance a matter of reading the configuration rather than comparing results. The 2-core/4-thread CPU with a 4 MB shared L3 is a compact execution engine. It is not represented in the database as a high-core-count device, and its boost ceiling is 2.20 GHz. For workloads that are mostly single-user and intermittent, such as document editing, browsing, and lightweight productivity, the dual-channel DDR4 memory and 38.4 GB/s bandwidth provide a sensible memory foundation. The data does not include office-specific scores, so responsiveness is not directly measured.
For gaming, the only visual output recorded is integrated UHD Graphics; no GPU benchmark is present. That is a limiting factor for gaming claims, though the integrated graphics can handle display output. For content creation, the available facts are less encouraging: two physical cores and a 1500.00 MHz base clock are modest, and no rendering or encoding scores appear in the record. The 5 W TDP suggests the intended environment is a power-conscious mobile chassis, not a sustained multi-hour render node. The production status is End-of-life, so this is legacy hardware within the database. A user considering this processor should treat the benchmark-free profile as an indication that actual performance is unverified in this dataset.
Power and Thermals
The most important thermal number is 5 W. A processor with a 5 W TDP belongs to an extremely low-power class, implying a light cooling solution. The fact pack does not specify a cooler, but the combination of a 10 nm process and a 70.52 mm² die size is the physical context for that TDP. The CPU has a base clock of 1500.00 MHz and a boost clock of 2.20 GHz; the boost state will draw more than the base state, but no boost power or sustained power limit is recorded. The database also does not record a separate thermal throttling temperature, so peak heat behavior is unknown.
For a mobile processor, a 5 W TDP means the thermal solution can be small and low-airflow because the heat output is low by design; however, the exact cooling tier is not a field in the fact pack. The End-of-life status suggests these thermal characteristics are historical rather than current. With no cooler-size data, the analysis can only state the TDP class as 5 W and note that the implied cooling burden is minimal.
Benchmark Performance
The benchmark record is unusual because there is no benchmark data to analyze. The benchmarks list is empty, and the avgBenchmarkScore is 0. A benchmark average of 0 in a database often signals missing samples rather than a literal zero-throughput result; the fact pack does not explain the 0. The percentileVsAllCpus value is 50, meaning the CPU occupies the midpoint of the all-CPU distribution in this database. That midpoint, however, is not supported by a non-zero score in this record, so its meaning is ambiguous.
The nearestRivals list is empty, so there are no rival names, scores, or deltaPct values. Without nearestRivals, no “ahead by X percent” statement can be made. The only performance-oriented numbers are the raw specifications: 2 cores, 4 threads, 1500.00 MHz base clock, 2.20 GHz boost clock, 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, 4 MB of shared L3, and 38.4 GB/s of dual-channel DDR4 bandwidth. These data points describe a small, low-power mobile processor. They do not produce a benchmark score. The fact that the database still assigns a 50th percentile position invites scrutiny: with an empty benchmarks list, how was that rank determined? The fact pack does not answer that question.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals list is empty, which removes the normal comparison framework. There are no rival CPUs listed, no scores for those rivals, and no deltaPct values. Thus, the m3-8114Y cannot be placed relative to any specific competitor in this database. The only comparison point is percentileVsAllCpus = 50. That places it at the middle of all processors in the database’s percentile ordering, but because avgBenchmarkScore is 0, this rank is not tied to an observed performance average.
If the database had included a nearest rival, the deltaPct field would allow a direct percentage gap; it does not. Consequently, this comparison has to state a limitation rather than produce a ranking. The data contains no evidence with which to compare the processor to another named part. That absence is itself notable: the entry provides a percentile position but no measured score to justify it.

Platform and Compatibility
The socket is Intel BGA 1440. Being a ball-grid array, the processor is mounted directly to the board; no desktop socket or user-replaceable socket carrier is described in the fact pack. Memory support is DDR4, with a dual-channel memory bus and 38.4 GB/s memory bandwidth. ECC memory is not supported. The CPU-attached expansion is PCIe Gen 3 with 10 lanes. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics.
The production status is End-of-life, and the release date is 2018-05-04. Because the fact pack lists no other socket, no chipset, and no family series, the upgrade path cannot be traced beyond the Intel BGA 1440 platform. The architecture is Cannon Lake, codename Cannon Lake-Y, so platform compatibility is tied to that generation. The PCIe lane count is listed as CPU only, and the fact pack does not mention additional chipset-driven lanes.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
The clock data is the first clue about thread behavior. The base clock is 1500.00 MHz, while the boost clock is 2.20 GHz. A single thread can use the boost clock for a burst, though the database does not state burst duration. The multi-thread path is constrained by the same two physical cores. Four threads are available, but they share only two cores, so execution resources are divided.
The cache layout reflects a per-core design: 64 KB of L1 and 256 KB of L2 for each core, with a 4 MB shared L3. That shared L3 supports both single-thread and multi-thread workloads, but its total capacity is fixed. The dual-channel DDR4 memory bus provides 38.4 GB/s; in multi-thread work, all requested data must travel across that same bus.
The single-thread behavior is likely the more capable side of this processor: the 2.20 GHz boost gives a higher ceiling than the 1500.00 MHz base. Multi-thread behavior is harder to assess because the database has no scaling benchmark. With 4 threads on 2 cores, the architecture can interleave work, but the data does not quantify efficiency. The absence of a multi-core score leaves multi-thread performance unmeasured.
