Description of the processor

The Intel Core i5-10500 published in the second quarter of the year 2020 is a tenth generation processor from Intels Core-i5 series. The processor has 6 physical cores and additionally supports hyperthreading technology, which can be logical from the 6 physical cores 12. This will then run twice as many arithmetic operations at the same time.

The basic clock frequency of the 6 cores is 3.10 gigahertz and the maximum turbo clock frequency at up to 4.50 gigahertz. However, the maximum turbo clock frequency is achieved only during the utilization of a single core, several cores are utilized simply reduces the maximum clock frequency.

Memory modules of type DDR4 are officially supported with a clock rate of up to 2666 megahertz. The maximum memory size, which can be controlled by the 2 memory channels of the Intel Core i5-10500, outputs Intel with 128 gigabytes. Incidentally, the maximum memory bandwidth is 41.6 gigabytes per second.

The integrated graphics unit Intel UHD Graphics 630 has a maximum of 64 gigabytes of video memory and supports the image output on up to 3 screens at the same time. The maximum resolution via a display port is 4096x2304 with 60 Hertz. Another HDMI output is still 4K with a resolution of 4096 x 2160, but the refresh rate is limited to 30 Hertz here.

The basic clock frequency of the Intel HD Graphics 630 is 350 megahertz and the maximum dynamic clock frequency at 1.15 Gigahertz. The graphics unit already released in the fourth quarter 2017 supports DirectX in version 12.0 and the most important codecs can be both decoded in hardware, as well as encoded.

Furthermore, the Intel Core i5-10500 based on Comet-Lake architecture has a 12 megabyte cache.
