Features and benefits
Get a major boost in PC power with the intelligent performance of the Intel Core i5 processor.

• 32nm dual-core processing runs two independent processor cores in one physical package at the same frequency.



• Intel Turbo Boost Technology maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload--more performance when you need it the most.



• Intel Hyper-Threading Technology delivers two processing threads per physical core for a total of four threads for massive computational throughput. This 4-way multi-task processing allows each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time.



• Intel HD Graphics provides superb visual performance for sharper images, richer color, and life-like video and audio.



• Integrated memory controller enables two channels of high-speed DDR3 1333 MHz memory. This memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.



• Intel Smart Cache is a shared cache dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload. This efficient, dual-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from the fast cache, significantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance. Optimized for industry-leading multi-threaded games.
