The performance heavily depends on the TDP limit as well as the memory configuration with fast LPDDR3-1866 RAM in dual-channel mode, the GPU should sometimes be able to compete with the HD Graphics 520, but can also be much slower in other scenarios.

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 615 GPU has 23 of the 24 Execution Units (EUs) like the old HD Graphics 515 and runs with clocks between 300 and 950 MHz in combination with this processor.

In our tests the old m3-8100Y offered a slightly disappointed performance and was only suited for low demanding tasks (see page of the Intel Core m3-8100Y). The performance of the Y series is highly depending on the cooling solution of the laptop / tablet and the TDP settings for sustained load. Intel basically used the familiar micro architecture from the Skylake / Kaby Lake generation, so the per-MHz performance is identical. Core m3-7Y32), Amber Lake uses the same architecture produced in the improved 14nm+ FinFET process (no 14nm++) but offers higher clock speeds at an increased TDP rating. Compared to the Kaby Lake-Y predecessors (e.g. The chips also includes the Intel HD Graphics 615 GPU with 23 EUs, a dual-channel memory controller (DDR3L/LPDDR3) as well as VP9 and H.265 video de- and encoder. Thanks to Hyper Threading, the processor can execute up to four threads simultaneously. The CPU consists of two processor cores clocked at 1.1 - 3.4 GHz.

It was announced in Q1 2021 and is basically a Core m3-8100Y with a slightly slower integrated graphics card (one EU deactivated of the 24 EUs). The Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y is an efficient dual-core SoC for tablets and passively cooled notebooks based on the old Amber Lake generation from 2018.
