Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-3470S is a processor based on the Ivy Bridge S architecture. It was manufactured using an advanced 22-nanometer process. This design aimed for a good balance between performance and energy efficiency. For everyday tasks such as surfing the internet or office applications, it offered a solid foundation.

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500 also enabled basic image output without an additional graphics card. Expansion cards were connected via PCIe 3.0, which was contemporary for its generation. With 6 MB Level 3 Cache, the processor could efficiently manage data. It still proves its worth for basic computer work.

It was a popular choice for mainstream PCs at the time. Its design laid the foundation for economical desktops. This i5 has long proven to be a reliable component for many users. It is a good example of the development at that time. Its technical design was aimed at broad compatibility.Ivy Bridge S ArchitectureIntegrated Intel HD Graphics 2500PCIe 3.0 Support6 MB Level 3 Cache
