Intel Core i5-2500S
Benchmarks & Specs

The Intel Core i5-2500S, a processor based on the proven Sandy Bridge architecture, was a remarkable option in its time. This chip was manufactured using the then state-of-the-art 32nm process, enabling efficient operation. It offered a very good mix of computing power and energy efficiency.

These features made it an ideal choice for systems where low power consumption was important or the design needed to be more compact. We appreciated its reliability in everyday use. With 6 MB Level 3 Cache, the processor could quickly provide data, which benefited system responsiveness. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 took care of basic visual output and supported the playback of media content.

Although not intended for demanding modern tasks, the Intel Core i5-2500S remains a capable basis for everyday computer tasks such as browsing or word processing. Its PCIe 2.0 interface was common at the time. The maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s was also sufficient for the requirements of the time.

One can say it was a rock-solid building block for many computers.
