Looking for a CPU upgrade?
The system runs DDR3L with a claimed top rate of 1866MT/s, but this difference is likely negligible in practice. BIOS settings usually don’t let you adjust RAM speeds, so you’re likely limited to the original configuration even if better modules exist. Extra memory could help only if the issue stems from insufficient RAM. When using AutoCAD, your i5 5200U probably limits performance since it tops out at 2.7GHz—far below modern desktop CPUs like the Pentium G4560 or Athlon 200GE from five years prior. The benefit of that older CPU is longer battery life rather than raw speed.
Clear understanding confirmed. Appreciate the help. Unfortunately, the CPU remains unchanged. SSD and RAM are the best options available right now. It's time to upgrade for better performance.
