The ULV-CPUs are rated at a TDP of 17 W including graphics card and memory controller. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 offers 16 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at 350 MHz up to 1050 MHz with Turbo Boost, delivering a performance comparable with an AMD Radeon HD 6620G. Therefore, overall performance is similar to the former Core i7-2637M or a Core i3-2310M. The performance of the Core i5-3317U is slightly above a similarly clocked Sandy Bridge processor due to the architectural improvements. Other new features are integrated PCI Express 3.0 and DDR3(L)-1600 support. The CPUs are produced in 22nm (versus 32nm Sandy Bridge CPUs) and are the first to introduce 3D transistors for increased energy efficiency when compared to similarly clocked Sandy Bridge processors. Ivy Bridge is an enhanced d ie shrink of the Sandy Bridge architecture with improvements on both GPU and CPU performance. As its Sandy-Bridge-based predecessors, it offers a 3 MB 元-Cache. Each core offers a base speed of 1.7 GHz but can dynamically increase clock rates with Turbo Boost up to 2.4 GHz (for 2 active cores) and 2.6 GHz (for 1 active core). Due to Hyperthreading, the two cores can handle up to four threads in parallel leading to better utilization of the CPU.

The Intel Core i5-3317U is an ULV-processor for laptops based on the Ivy Bridge architecture released in Q2 2012.
