Introduction 
The Intel
®
 Core™ i5-600, i3-500 desktop processor series and Intel
® 
Pentium
®
 
desktop processor 6000 series are the next generation of 64-bit, multi-core processors 
built on 32-nanometer process technology. Based on the low-power/high-performance 
Intel microarchitecture, the processor is designed for a two-chip platform, instead of 
the traditional three-chip platforms (processor, (G)MCH, and ICH). The two-chip 
platform consists of a processor and Platform Controller Hub (PCH) and enables higher 
performance, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint. The Intel
®
 5 Series Chipset 
components for desktop and Intel
®
 3400 Series Chipset components for workstations 
are the PCH.The processor is designed for desktop and workstation platforms.
This document provides DC electrical specifications, signal integrity, differential 
signaling specifications, pinout and signal definitions, interface functional descriptions, 
and additional feature information pertinent to the implementation and operation of the 
processor on its respective platform.
Note:
Throughout this document, the Intel Core i5-600, i3-500 desktop processor series and 
Intel Pentium desktop processor 6000 series may be referred to as “processor”.
Note:
Throughout this document, the Intel
®
 Core™ i5-600 desktop processor series refers to 
the Intel
®
 Core™ i5-680, i5-670, i5-661, i5-660, i5-655K, and i5-650 processors. 
Note:
Throughout this document, the Intel
®
 Core™ i3-500 desktop processor series refers to 
the Intel
®
 Core™ i3-560, i3-550, i3-540, and i3-530 processors.
Note:
Throughout this document, the Intel
®
 5 series Chipset Platform Controller Hub may 
also be referred to as “PCH”. 
Note:
Throughout this document, the Intel
®
 Pentium
®
 desktop processor 6000 series refers 
to the Intel
®
 Pentium
®
 processor G6950 and G6960 processors
Note:
Some processor features are not available on all platforms. Refer to the processor 
specification update for details.
Included in this family of processors is an integrated graphics and a memory controller 
die on the same package as the processor core die. This two-chip solution of a 
processor core die with an integrated graphics and a memory controller die is known as 
a Multi-Chip Package (MCP) processor. For specific features supported for individual 
Intel Core™ i5-600 and i3-500 desktop processor series and Intel
® 
Pentium
®
 desktop 
processor 6000 series SKUs, refer to the Intel
®
 Core™ i5-600 and i3-500 Desktop 
Processor Series and Intel

 shows an example platform block diagram. 
Note:
Integrated graphics and Memory controller die is built on 45-nanometer process 
technology.
