Features and Benefits of the Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 

feature

Benefit

Dual-Core Processing

Runs two independent processor cores in one physical package at the same frequency.

Intel® Smart Cache

The shared cache is 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.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology

1

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  

(Intel® HT Technology)

1

Delivers two processing threads per physical core for a total of four threads for massive computational throughput. With Intel® HT Technology, highly threaded  

applications can get more work done in parallel, completing their tasks sooner. With more threads available to the operating system, multitasking becomes even  

easier. This amazing processor can handle multiple applications working simultaneously, allowing you to do more with less wait time.

Integrated Memory Controller

An integrated memory controller offers stunning memory read/write performance through efficient prefetching algorithms, lower latency, and higher memory 

bandwidth. 

Intel® HD Graphics

Enhanced video and 3D engine delivers smooth HD video playback and mainstream 3D gaming without the need for add-in video cards or decoders. Intel® HD 

Graphics provides a suite of video processing, 3D, and software technologies designed to improve image quality and performance, including hardware-accelerated  

decode for Blu-ray* dual-stream picture-in-picture and 3D support for Microsoft* DirectX* 10 and OpenGL* 2.1. Supports full functionality of the Microsoft* 

Windows* 7 operating system and display connectivity options, including HDMI* and DisplayPort*. Enables professional-grade audio capabilities with support  

for Dolby* TrueHD and DTS*-HD Master Audio multi-channel bitstreaming.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT-x)  

and Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed  

I/O (Intel® VT-d)

1

Intel® VT allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. For businesses, Intel VT offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and 

maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. 

Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions

(AES-NI)

New AES instructions add hardware acceleration to AES algorithms and speeds up the execution of AES applications. 

Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)

1

Highly versatile set of hardware extensions for Intel® processors and chipsets which, with appropriate software, enhance platform security capabilities.

Intel®-Designed Thermal Solution  

for Boxed Processors

Includes a four-pin connector for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance

2

. 

Fan speed control technology is based on actual processor temperature and power usage.

 

1

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, Intel® Virtualization Technology, and Intel® Trusted Execution Technology require a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS,  

enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers, and applications designed for these features. Performance will vary depending on your configuration. Contact your vendor for more information.

The acoustic benefits of the four-pin header are reliant on a properly designed motherboard. Contact your board manufacturer for compatibility.
