Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-3450 provides a solid foundation for everyday computing tasks. As part of the Ivy Bridge S family, manufactured using the 22nm process, it represented an efficient option at the time. We remember how reliable these processors were, and they often still are today for certain applications.

With its 6 MB Level 3 Cache, the Core i5-3450 could process data quickly, resulting in a smooth system response. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500 provided basic graphics performance. It was possible to run a PC without a separate graphics card, making it particularly attractive for office and multimedia systems.

The support of PCIe 3.0 also enabled the connection of various expansion cards, which increased the system's flexibility. This processor remains a functional choice for systems that do not require extreme processing power but value stability. Versatile package for its segment.
