Intel Core i5-8500B
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-8500B is a processor from Intel. It has established itself as a reliable choice for many common applications. It was manufactured using the 14 nm process based on the Coffee Lake S architecture. It offered a good balance between processing power and energy consumption. This processor is ideally suited for everyday tasks such as web browsing, word processing, and media playback.

A clear advantage is the integrated graphics unit, the Intel UHD Graphics 630. It allows the operation of a monitor and meets basic graphical requirements. A separate graphics card is often unnecessary as a result. This saves valuable space and reduces system costs. The 9 MB Level 3 cache also helps.

It ensures that programs start quickly and data is processed efficiently. The support of PCIe 3.0 is sufficient for many expansion cards. This processor forms a solid foundation for various computer solutions.
  • Reliable for everyday applications
  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630
  • Efficient thanks to 14 nm manufacturing and Coffee Lake S architecture
  • 9 MB Level 3 Cache
