Brand New Intel Core i5 3570 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz LGA 1155 Quad-Core Desktop Processor

 Intel Core i5-3570 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155  Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Whether its HD media, 3D gaming, or multitasking, the 3rd generation Intel Core i5 processor can handle it all with headroom to spare. Its top-of-the-line speed is complemented by Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, which adapts processor speed for more performance when you need it. Combined with a rich set of features, including Intel™'s unique set of built-in visuals, the 3rd generation Intel Core i5 processor is the ideal choice for visibly smart performance at its best.

New Microarchitecture on 22nm Process Intels cutting-edge 22nm microarchitecture with 3rd gen Hi-K+ metal gate process delivers the 3rd generation Intel Core processors with higher performance at lower power.

 Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 More intelligent, energy-efficient, and dynamic than previous generation, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 gives you accelerating performance when you need it. It delivers an even greater automatic speed increase by allowing processor and graphics cores to run faster than the base operating frequency for demanding applications if the processor is operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.

 Intel Smart Cache Intel Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from faster, more efficient cache subsystem resulting in significantly reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.

 Integrated DDR3 Memory Controller Integrated memory controller enables two channels of DDR3 1333 MHz memory, resulting in up to 21 GB/sec memory bandwidth. Plus the memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.

 Built-in Visuals (with H Chipset) The visual features built into the 3nd generation Intel Core processor family deliver everything you need to enjoy a stunning and seamless visual experience. Intel Quick Sync Video and newly-added Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) make media processing incredibly fast. New built-in Intel HD Graphics delivers discrete 3D graphics performance without the needed cost and power of a discrete graphics card, and features Intel Clear Video Technology than enhances video playback, image quality, and color fidelity for a premium visual experience. What's more, add another dimension to what you see on your PC with Intel InTRU 3D technology which supports stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray playback in full 1080p resolution over HDMI 1.4.
