Features and Benefits of the Intel® Core™ i7 and Intel® Core™ i5 Processors with Overclocking Enabled
1
feature
benefit
Multi-Core Processor
Provides independent execution cores in one processor package. Dedicated processing cores help operating systems and
applications deliver additional performance, so users can experience better multitasking and multi-threaded performance
across many types of applications and workloads.
Overclocking Enabled
1
Unlocked core multipliers provide easy overclocking of the processor and memory frequency, enabling performance beyond
the processor’s original specifications. Unlocked processors deliver the most flexible overclocking experience.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
2
Dynamically increases the processor’s frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom when
operating below specified limits. Get more performance automatically, when you need it the most.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
3
Delivers two processing threads per physical core for massive computational throughput, allowing highly threaded
applications to get more work done faster.
Intel® Smart Cache
This large last-level cache enables dynamic and efficient allocation of shared cache to all cores to match the needs
of various applications for ultra-efficient data storage and manipulation.
Integrated Memory Controller
An integrated memory controller offers amazing memory performance for data-intensive workloads. Combined with the
processor’s very efficient prefetching algorithms, this memory controller’s lower latency and higher memory bandwidth
delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.
Intel® HD Boost
Includes the full SSE4 instruction set, significantly improving a broad range of multimedia and compute-intensive applications.
The 128-bit SSE instructions are issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle, allowing a new level of processing
efficiency with SSE4 optimized applications.
AES-NI Encryption / Decryption
Acceleration
Provides six new processor instructions that help to improve performance for AES encryption and decryption algorithms.
(For the Intel® Core™ i7-980X processor Extreme Edition and the Intel® Core™ i5-655K processor only.)
