Description of the processor
The Intel Core i5-6500T comes from Intels "Skylake S" architecture. The desktop processor has 4 CPU cores. Intels Hyper-Threading technology, which allows one additional thread per CPU core, is not supported by the Intel Core i5-6500T. It can process 4 threads at the same time.The clock frequency of the Intel Core i5-6500T is a low 2.5 GHz. Intels T processors usually clock significantly lower than their normal sister models, but the T models require less energy. The performance is reduced compared to the normal models. This also makes it possible to install the Intel Core i5-6500T in a small case, which would normally not be suitable for a normal model in this series.
The Intel Core i5-6500T has a Turbo mode. This allows the processor to dynamically adjust its clock frequency and increase it to up to 3.1 GHz. With load on all CPU cores, up to 2.8 GHz in turbo mode is possible with good cooling.
The Intel HD Graphics 530 is installed as integrated graphics in the Intel Core i5-6500T. However, the graphics performance is quite low, so the graphics card is not suitable for computer games. It is used for image and video output. If you dont need much graphics performance, you dont need to install a dedicated graphics card.
The Intel Core i5-6500T supports DDR3-1600 and DDR4-2133 memory. Memory support lies with the motherboard; memory types cannot be mixed. The performance difference between memory types is quite small. DDR4-2133 memory reaches a maximum of 34.1 GB/s in dual-channel mode (in which at least two memory modules are installed). The older DDR3-1600 memory has a maximum of 25.6 GB/s.
A maximum of 64 GB of RAM can be installed. The TDP of the Intel Core i5-6500T is a low 35 watts. In Turbo mode, the TDP can also be permanently exceeded.
