Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-3330 is based on the proven Ivy Bridge S architecture. It was manufactured using a 22-nanometer process, which enabled remarkable energy efficiency at the time. This processor has proven to be an extremely reliable base for many computer systems. Even today, it can still be found in stably running office PCs or home computers.

Its integrated graphics solution, the Intel HD Graphics 2500, provides sufficient display for most everyday tasks. Surfing the Internet, reading e-mails, or word processing run smoothly with it. With 6 MB Level 3 Cache, it provides solid data buffering, which supports the overall performance of the system.

The existing PCIe 3.0 support was an important standard at the time. It allowed for the easy connection of various expansion cards. The Intel Core i5-3330 is a smart choice for anyone looking for a system for basic needs. It shows that quality products can retain their value for many years. We were surprised ourselves at how steadfast these CPUs often still are.

For simple applications, its performance is still perfectly adequate.
