Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-3570K is a processor from Intel's Ivy Bridge S generation. It was manufactured using the advanced 22-nanometer process. This represented a significant step in chip manufacturing for its time. Many users particularly appreciated its unlocked multiplier. It allowed the CPU to be overclocked to extract even more performance.

This was very popular among enthusiasts at the time. In addition, this processor integrated the Intel HD Graphics 4000. It enabled a system without a separate graphics card. It was quite sufficient for everyday tasks or even older games. Even today, this unit is still useful for simple image output.

The processor also supported PCIe 3.0. This interface was current for graphics cards of its time. With 6 MB Level 3 Cache, the processor was well equipped. This benefited the general system response. We see that it can still reliably perform its service for less demanding applications today. For basic computer work or as a basis for retro gaming systems, it remains a solid option.
  • Unlocked multiplier for overclocking
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000
  • Manufactured in 22-nm process
  • PCIe 3.0 support
