Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-7500 is a seventh generation processor of the Intel Core i5 family. It was launched in the first quarter of 2017 and is based on Intels Kaby Lake S architecture. The processor comes from the desktop segment of the i5 family, is manufactured with a structure width of 14 nanometers and is based on a monolithic chip design. The Intel Core i5-7500 is designed for a mainboard with the LGA 1151 socket and has a 6.00 megabyte level 3 cache.

The processor consists of 4 processor cores, so it is a quad-core processor. Hyperthreading is not supported by the processor and it does not have a free multiplier, which means it cannot be overclocked. The 4 processor cores have a base clock of 3.40 gigahertz and the maximum turbo clock is 3.80 gigahertz. However, this maximum clock rate is no longer achieved if all four cores are utilized at the same time, then the maximum clock rate is only 3.60 gigahertz.

The Intel Core i5-7500 is equipped with an internal graphics unit; Intel has installed the Intel HD Graphics 630 here. This graphics unit has 24 execution units with 192 shader units and can supply up to 3 monitors with one image. The base clock speed of the graphics is 350 megahertz, but the clock speed can increase to up to 1.10 gigahertz in turbo mode. The graphics unit then achieves an FP32 computing power (single precision) of 422 GigaFLOPS. The iGPU is manufactured with a structure width of 14 nanometers and can use up to 64 gigabytes of the systems built-in RAM.

The Intel Core i5-7500 itself has 2 memory channels and can be operated with up to 64 gigabytes of DDR4-2400 RAM. Automatic error correction memory (ECC memory) is not supported by the processor.
  • Solid performance for everyday use
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630
  • High stability and reliability
  • Efficient 14 nm manufacturing
