Intel Core i5-2515E
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-2515E processor, based on the Sandy Bridge H architecture, was a solid choice. This processor was manufactured using the advanced 32nm process. This ensured remarkable efficiency at the time. Its integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 enabled basic visual output. A separate graphics card was therefore often unnecessary.

With 3 MB Level 3 Cache, this processor could quickly process data and supported overall system performance. The maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s was perfectly adequate for the applications of that time. We have found that it is still usable for basic everyday tasks. These include, for example, office work or media playback.

It provides reliable services in many older systems. The Intel Core i5-2515E is a testament to its time. It offered a very reliable base for many computers, and its performance at the time always convinced us.
