Increase your multitasking speed with the Intel Core i5 processor
After the successful launch of Core i3, Intel released its Core i5 and just after Core i7. Ultimate performance is the current demand and to meet those requirements, Intel has brought the Core series processors.
The Intel Core i5 processor automatically allocates its processing power where it’s needed most. Suppose you are creating HD videos, while creating animations or editing photos, music, etc. The Core i5 process will determine which of these tasks needs the most power and allocate its processing power to that task. This technology gives you the convenience of high-performance multitasking.
There are several series of Core i5 processors. i5-600 series processors use 32nm technology and i5-700 series processors use 45nm technology. All processors feature Intel Turbo Boost technology.
Product Information:
– There are 4 processing threads in the processor, which makes the processing faster.
– Integrated HD graphics on the Intel Core i5-600 series processors.
– Up to 8 MB of Intel Smart Cache.
– 2 channels of DDR3 1333 MHz memory.
Usability and benefits:
Dual Core Processing – 32nm dual core processing runs 2 independent processor cores in a physical package at the same frequency.
Intel Smart Cache: Based on workload, shared cache memory is allocated to each processor core. This efficient and optimized dual-core implementation increases the chance of each core accessing data from the first cache, significantly reducing latency for frequently used data and increasing performance.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology: Increases processor frequency as needed by taking advantage of power and thermal headroom when operating below specified limits.
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology – This technology delivers 2 processing threads to each physical core for massive computational performance. With this technology; applications with many threads can perform work in parallel, completing the task sooner. As more threads are available, it makes multitasking easier and faster, allows you to do your work accurately and comfortably.
Intel HD Graphics: Powerful and enhanced video and 3D engine delivers smooth HD video playback and enables mainstream 3D gaming without the need for external video cards. Intel HD Graphics technology provides a suite of video, 3D, and software processing technologies designed to improve image quality and performance. Includes hardware accelerated decoding for dual stream Blue-ray images. It is compatible with directx10 and OpenGL 2.1.
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x): Intel VT allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. For businesses, Intel VT offers enhanced manageability, limiting downtime and keeping workers productive by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (AES-NI) – The new AES instructions add hardware acceleration to AES algorithms and speed up the execution of AES applications.
Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) – A highly versatile set of hardware extensions for Intel processors and chipsets that, with appropriate software, enhance the security capabilities of the platform.
Intel-designed thermal solution for boxed processors: Includes a four-pin fan speed control connector to help minimize acoustic noise levels generated by running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance. Fan speed control technology is based on actual processor temperature and power usage.
There are many other enhanced features in Core i5 processors. Overclocking is one of them. Although Intel has released its new Core i7 processor, but those who love to be winners, Core i5 is still for them because in the world of overclocking Core i5 is the best of all.
