Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-2450P is a classic processor based on the robust Sandy Bridge S architecture. Manufactured using the 32 nm process, it offered a reliable platform for many users at the time. Even today, it proves surprisingly useful for basic tasks. Whether it's simple web browsing, document editing, or media playback, the Intel Core i5-2450P handles these tasks without complaint.

A notable feature is its 6 MB Level 3 cache, which contributes to a noticeably better system responsiveness. The maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s was quite solid for its time. Its longevity and the still acceptable performance for everyday applications make it a cost-effective option. We see that many of these processors are still reliably doing their job.

Support for PCIe 2.0 also enabled various expansions, such as for graphics cards. Overall, this Intel processor remains a testament to solid technology.
  • Architecture: Sandy Bridge S
  • 6 MB Level 3 Cache
  • Manufactured in 32 nm
  • Support for PCIe 2.0
