Main Specifications

Family

Core i5

Family

Core i5

Intel processor family for both simple and professional use, with support for 4K video playback and gaming, balancing performance with low power consumption.

Microarchitecture

Haswell

Microarchitecture

The code name of the generation and internal organization of the processor. A common indicative element is the nanometers (nm) of the microarchitecture; the smaller, the better. The latest and most recent generation of Intel, named Arrow Lake, includes the “Core Ultra” models without the "i" prefix. The latest and most recent generation of AMD is Zen 5.

Haswell

Intel processor architecture 22nm that started in 2013.

Socket

1150

Socket

The processor socket type.

The motherboard we choose should have the same socket in order for the processor to "fit in".

Packaging

Box

Packaging

Box

As a rule, they are accompanied by a manufacturer's cooler and fan.

Performance

Cores

4

Cores

The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.

Threads

4

Threads

Threads are virtual versions of processor cores. They allow the processor to serve multiple tasks in parallel.

Processor Frequency (Base Frequency)

3.5 GHz

Processor Frequency (Base Frequency)

The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.

Thermal Design Power (TDP)

84 W

Thermal Design Power (TDP)

The TDP shows how much heat the processor generates during typical use.

The cooler used should be capable of handling this amount of heat.
