Verdict

Our verdict on the Core 7 160UL

The Intel Core 7 160UL is a low-power desktop chip that trades all performance for extreme energy efficiency, making it a niche office or embedded part.

Get it if you need a low-power office or home server chip that sips electricity and runs cool in a compact build. Skip it if you want any gaming or heavy multitasking performance, as even basic Chromebooks outpace it.
