Once again Intel sets the pace in competition for performance and power efficiency with the 3rd Generation Intel Core processors, codenamed Ivy Bridge. Built on the market-leading previous generation Sandy Bridge architecture, the state-of-the-art Ivy Bridge not only continues the excellence in all aspects with Intel Hyper-Threading technology, Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and Smart Cache, but pushes the pace a step farther with groundbreaking 22nm 3D transistor technology, which delivers an unprecedented combination of performance and power efficiency, and a couple of key refinement. The built-in visual is another leap offering you enhanced media and graphics. The Ivy Bridge IGP also supports DirectX 11 and OpenCL 1.1 to deliver incredibly detailed gaming and better heterogeneous computing performance.

The Intel Core i5-3570K packs four cores with Turbo Boost 2.0 technology to deliver incredible PC and visual experiences for all of your favorite activities—whether you’re creating, sharing, exploring, or gaming. Its unlocked multiplier allows you to freely adjust the frequency when used with compatible motherboard, pushing the performance to a new level and pumping the max out of your investment.

Intel 22nm 3-D Transistor The 3rd Generation Intel Core processors employ the world's first 3-D transistor manufactured at 22nm. Intel's 3-D Tri-Gate transistor uses three gates wrapped around the silicon channel in a 3-D structure, enabling an unprecedented combination of performance and energy efficiency, and ensuring that the pace of technology advancement consumers expect can continue for years to come.
Evolved Graphics Built-in visual features such as the Intel Quick Sync Video 2.0 and Intel Clear Video HD Technology enable compelling user experiences across a wide range of intelligent systems. Whether your application involves medical imaging, video surveillance, or HD media playback, the 3rd generation Intel Core processors support smooth visuals, quick digital image downloads, high-density media processing, and synchronous video streams. The support for DirectX 11, OpenCL 1.1 and OpenGL 3.1 takes your gaming and computing experience to a brand new level.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Designed to increase performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows the processor core to opportunistically and automatically run faster than its rated operating frequency/render clock if it is operating below power, temperature, and current limits. Furthermore, the processor can optimize both processor and Processor Graphics performance by managing power for the overall package, allowing an increase in the render core frequency and increased graphics performance for graphics intensive workloads.
INTEL SMART CACHE This large last-level cache enables dynamic and efficient allocation of shared cache to all cores to match the needs of various applications for ultra-efficient data storage and manipulation.
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX) Intel AVX is a new 256 bit instruction set extension to SSE and is designed for applications that are Floating Point (FP) intensive. Intel AVX improves performance due to wider vectors, new extensible syntax, and rich functionality. This results in better management of data and general purpose applications like image, audio/video processing, scientific simulations, financial analytics and 3D modeling and analysis.
Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) Increasing manageability, security, and flexibility in IT environments, virtualization technologies like hardware-assisted Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) combined with software-based virtualization solutions provide maximum system utilization by consolidating multiple environments into a single server or PC. By abstracting the software away from the underlying hardware, a world of new usage models opens up that reduce costs, increase management efficiency, strengthen security, while making your computing infrastructure more resilient in the event of a disaster.

N/A 5/16/2013 12:15:46 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Amazing CPU Pros: Upgraded from a AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition that was overclocked to 4.3Ghz and was an amazing CPU for gaming considering it only cost $100 but it always left something to be desired with everyday use for someone who spends a lot of time on their PC (3 hours bare minimum a day with an average of around 6). So this time I figured I would spend a bit more on my CPU and go Intel. I was worried that I would not see a huge jump in performance but that was just dumb on my part. This CPU is FAST FAST FAST. Everyday desktop use is so much smoother and responsive and gaming is better in every way. Thing is just a beast all around and I am sooooooo happy with it. Cons: It was not free, it did not come with a GTX680 and a SSD. Other Thoughts: BUY IT!!! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/16/2013 6:37:43 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Excellent CPU, currently have it clocked @4.7GHz 1.248v Temps run at 86c max on my CoolerMaster EVO with Intelburn, max temps for any non benchmark have been around 60c Cons: Took me 2 weeks to dial in all my settings to get this to run stable, stick with it if you are trying to get your highest OC, your patience will pay off Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 5/15/2013 11:42:39 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5See below Pros: Works great running stock speed, with stock cooler. Overclock, stable at 4.3ghz, can't get 4.4 or greater no matter what! See cons. Cons: Ran kinda hot with stock speed, and stock cooler. Put in water cooling, still warmer than expected at stock settings. Had to remove ihs, clean, and reassemble with arctic silver. This brought temps down to expected. Overclock to 4.3ghz, fully loaded, max temp 78C. No matter how much voltage I apply, or settings i tweek, can't get it to 4.4, and stay stable. Other Thoughts: It's a good solid cpu with excellent performance, I had hoped for a better overclock but I am happy with it, as there is never a guarantees with overclocking. At stock setting, it worked fine, and that all u can take as a guarantee from a manufacturer. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Chose this one because of the gpu support and didnt necessarily need the hyper threading. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

MXJ96T 5/14/2013 9:08:28 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5so fast Pros: I love this cpu. It is very fast and overclocks well i don't even think an i7 is really worth it if you now how to and can overclock Cons: none Other Thoughts: Get an aftermarket cooler you need it.

Friendly Janitor 5/14/2013 1:50:26 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Just buy it already... Pros: - Fast Fast Fast - Cool - Fast Cons: N/A Other Thoughts: This CPU is amazing. I have an MSI mobo that overclocks this thing up to 4.2Ghz and i've only ever seen the temp get up to 65c in the -heat- of battle. Perfect for everyday use! This thing cuts through everything i've thrown at it and stays cool... Like a cold butter knife that cuts cold butter. I've had 2 DAWs, 2 web browsers with tabs open, Steam, Origin, uplay, and BF3 running at once; the CPU just laughs in my face and continues working like a cyber horse pulling a Styrofoam plow. BUY IT! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
juicyjones 5/14/2013 6:31:21 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Another happy customer Pros: Great performance relative to other chips, good overclocker, good power consumption. Cons: Expensive. This chip should cost about $190. I docked an egg for this. Other Thoughts: I upgraded from my beloved AMD X4 965, which was holding back my RADEON 7870, and instantly my framerates stabilized and improved at the highest quality settings in Defiance and SWTOR. I'll be overclocking this later this evening on my GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-D3H, and I should be cooking with gas. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?
