Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-2390T is an interesting processor from the era of the Sandy Bridge S architecture. Manufactured using the 32 nm process, it was developed for efficient and compact systems. One of its strengths was the integrated graphics unit, the Intel HD Graphics 2000. This made it possible to operate media centers or office PCs without an additional graphics card.

The 3 MB Level 3 cache supports basic tasks well. We have often seen this CPU performing its service in slim cases. Its particular strength was the energy efficiency, which favored operation in low-fan systems. It was a good choice for users who appreciated quiet operation. Extreme computing power was not the focus.

For everyday tasks, the Intel Core i5-2390T offered solid performance. This included surfing, word processing and video playback. You can feel that the focus here was on reliability and balanced operation.
  • Sandy Bridge S Architecture
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000
  • High Energy Efficiency
  • Suitable for compact and quiet systems
