The Intel Core i5 processor is a fantastic mid-range CPU, offering excellent price to performance. This class of processor includes both the xx400 and xx600 series featuring up to 14 cores. The most recent Intel Core i5 processors utilise an innovative hybrid architecture, which harnesses both performance (P) and efficiency (E) cores. The P-cores can boost up to a phenomenal 5.3GHz clock speed, making them the ideal choice for complex workloads such as gaming. Meanwhile, the E-cores do not have as high frequencies, with a maximum clock speed of up to 4GHz. These lower speeds mean they are more energy efficient and ideal for less demanding tasks. With their low power consumption, an Intel Core i5 CPU is easier to maintain at optimum temperatures. You can manage a Core i5 CPU’s thermals with a variety of cooling solutions, including low-profile air coolers, tower coolers, and AiOs, making them the perfect choice for a wide range of builds. What’s more, these CPUs feature the latest Intel technologies to optimise performance in both work and play, including Intel Hyper-Threading and Intel Thread Director.
Intel Core i5 processors are an excellent choice for gamers on a budget. They provide outstanding gaming performance, with multiple powerful cores, ample on-die cache, and phenomenal efficiency. What’s more, they feature many of the same innovations found on their higher tier counterparts, to improve how your games perform. This can include:
A CPU is a wonder of technology, with seemingly endless numbers of transistors on a small piece of silicon. Find out more about these processors, by checking out our Anatomy of a CPU article on the Overclockers UK blog.
Read MoreSome Intel Core i5 processors are compatible with older motherboards. For example, you can utilise a 14th Gen CPU with a motherboard produced for 12th generation processors, by updating the BIOS. However, this is not the case for all processors, as some may use a different socket or chipset.
All Intel Core i5 CPUs without an F designation will feature integrated graphics. However, we do recommend checking the Intel website for more information.
Here at Overclockers UK, we stock a wide range of Intel Core i5 processors from the latest generations, including the 12th, 13th, and 14th.
Windows 11 can be operated on an Intel Core i5 processor, as long as it is 8th Gen or newer.
The number of cores an Intel Core i5 processor has depends on its generation. For example, an i5-10400 features 6 cores, whereas an i5-14600K boasts 14 cores.
