Above we can see an overview of the CPU and GPU (integrated graphics in this case) thanks to CPU-Z and GPU-Z respectively.
The i5-6500U is a Skylake processor – rather than Kaby Lake, which has started to hit the market in notebook form. It is dual-core, with a base clock of 2.3GHz which boosts to 2.8GHz. Given it is a ‘U'-series processor, denoting ‘ultra-low power', it has a TDP of just 15W.
Integrated within that chip is the Intel HD Graphics 520 technology. This has a low base clock of 300MHz, though it can boost as high as 1GHz.
