Intel® Core™ i5-8500 Desktop Processor 6 Core up to 4.1GHz Turbo LGA1151 300 Series 65W

Product Information

Geekbench 6 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 2500 (which is the score of an Intel Core i7-12700). To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Also, like the i5-8400, the 8500 features 9MB of L3 cache and a frugal TDP of 65W, leaving not much to choose between them. Hardware-based security helps you experience online and offline activities with peace of mind, enabled by features that include Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) that helps applications protect your system and your data coupled with Intel® BIOS Guard and Intel® Boot Guard that help protect your system during startup. Intel’s products and software are intended only to be used in applications that do not cause or contribute to adverse impacts on human rights.

These are processors sought by gamers who don't do that much multi-threaded work and rather focus on something that won't bottleneck their graphics card. GeekBench 5 Single-Core is a cross-platform application developed in the form of CPU tests that independently recreate certain real-world tasks with which to accurately measure performance. Your company as an importer and/or exporter is responsible for determining the correct classification of your transaction.

End of life (EOL) products are products that the manufacturer has chosen to no longer continue producing. Max Turbo Frequency refers to the maximum single-core processor frequency that can be achieved with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. Some can even double their declared thermals given that the motherboard allows to tune the CPU power parameters. The i5 8500 features six cores for more processing power—that’s two more cores than the previous generation i5 processor.

AMD bolstered the six-core chip with SMT (making it 6-core/12-thread), the full 16 MB of L3 cache, and an unlocked multiplier, making it an unbeatable proposition.Intel has increased the amount of performance by adding more cores and/or more threads to each processor in the family. Our 90 day warranty provides sufficient time to allow you to fully test your purchase and discover any unlikely, underlying issues. As is the case of all Coffee Lake processors, currently the only motherboards that the 8500 can be paired with feature Intel’s high-end Z370 chipset for overclocking. The benchmark score for a component shown on this page is the median of all the results submitted by users with the same hardware. Although a new Z490 (LGA1200) motherboard is required, Intel have indicated that LGA1200 will remain compatible with Rocket Lake CPUs which are due later this year.
