Next biggest thing!
- Pros: Super efficient/cool, fast at stock speeds, even faster when overclocked (and it overclocks like MAD), turbo mode (makes it better than most pre-lynnfield i7s in single-thread performance) - which improves performance of single threaded apps by disabling inactive cores & clocking the active core by TDP of the cpu. That means at stock settings (2.66ghz (133x20)) with turbo enabled, you can have single thread performance from a ~3.2ghz core (133x20) - google "Intel Turbo" if you want to learn more (it's a very nice feature). I can't get over how wickedly efficient this thing is!
You're not likely to have any trouble getting any Lynnfield cpu above 3.6ghz - providing you've got an aftermarket cooler for it.
- Cons: No HT (this is basically the only area which really matters where it loses to the i7 920 in performance). The manual multiplier is locked at (or below) stock 20x (up to 24x with turbo mode but that's only with 1 core, or 22x with 2 cores, or 21x with 3 cores (I believe..)). Neither of these should stop you from getting this CPU, unless the i7 870 drops in price or another (better) cpu has been released for a similar price.
Stock cooler is kind of mediocre, just buy an aftermarket one (which brings up another point, why did intel have to make the mounting holes a couple mm further (or was it closer) apart/together than the lga755 coolers? Most of those are rated for higher TDP and would work very well as a heatsink for this).
- Other Thoughts: I'm blown away with how substantial this cpu is. My s939 motherboard died the night before these launched and I almost got an i7 920 setup (which would've cost >$200 more) - I'm glad I didn't. This (and the 1156 mobos) are much more efficient & cheaper to boot - it also bests the i7 920 at quite a few things.
Overclocking: I've got mine at 3.8ghz (181x21 - my P55-GD65 motherboard has a 'bug' or something that enables 21x multiplier on all cores) w/ turbo enabled (4.35ghz on a single core (181x24)). It can go higher, but I prefer to keep my voltage below 1.4 (at 3.8ghz I've got it on 1.36v). At these speeds, my super pi time is slightly under 9.8 seconds. My old 939 x2 4200+ was lucky to get under 35s. I also have a Cooler Master 212 Plus which is phenomenal, running prime95 on a maximum heat generation mode, my fan doesn't have to kick above "idle" (which is at 1000rpm / practically inaudible) to keep it below 45c.
BUY IT!
Great CPU
- Pros: Excellent CPU. Handles my two games that I play just like my Q9550 does. I got this CPU for photoshop, music, and video stuff. It out performs in those tasks really well, but games are really the same.
The turbo boost feature clocks my CPU up to 3.46GHz. Neat feature.
- Cons: The stock cooler sucks. Get an aftermarket cooler even if you do not overclock.
- Other Thoughts: I bought a $30 Cooler Master cooler for it because it was the only cooler I could find that was not a rip off that works with the 1156 socket. It runs mid 30s idle and mid 40s at load.
Xigmatek is a 3 week wait from what I was told from a rep on the adapter kits...... Now my dark knight s-1283v cooler is a paper weight.

Not bad
- Pros: I installed this for a customer and it loaded Win 7 in 20 minutes flat. But in games like GTAIV where clock speed must be equal it slows down. This is due to porting games from consoles. But in business apps this chip will rock the house. A good value chip for those who want to spend under $200. But for gamers the wolfdales are still the favorite. It is up to Intel to change that mindset.
- Cons: The turbo boost pushes the 2 core speed up to 3.2 ghz but not all 4 cores at once. This is where the AMD 965 wins. The cell cpu in consoles like the x360 are triple cores and the PS3. This means triple core and quads will matter as cross platform games like Crysis 2 come out.
- Other Thoughts: Intel will address this I believe in the next version of 35nm quads. AMD has taken over the sub $200 market without a fight. Combined with that and their 5800 series they stand to do well. This is the same tactic Microsoft pulled on their counterparts like Lotus, Word Perfect, and Borland some years back. Intel needs to evolve to stay ahead. The 35 nm chips might help do that if they do not wait too long to relase them.
Intel + ASUS+ Newegg=Best Performance
- Pros: Great Overclocking ability, Great performance, Very stable, Good price vs Performance. Very good resale value which AMD never had. 5GHz on ASUS MoBo on air. Over 44000 pts on 3D Mark Vantage ,AMD can't come close. with Asus oveclocking it is safe and easy as touch of a button. Impressed me.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: I like that AMD tries so hard and makes the good CPU's, beacuse of that Intel has to drop the price of their great products. True is the Intel has very good resale value. I sold my 1 year old q6600 for $141 and bought that one for $199 so I am happy about it. I run this CPU at 5GHz (on asus p7p55d-e pro) on air. Best AMD CPU's are far behind. If you really need a strong CPU around $200 this is it plus you can upgrade later to i7 when prices drop but you won't need it for a while.
AMAZING CPU, deceptive clock speed
- Pros: This CPU is amazing, (upgraded from a core two quad q6600), and it was defiantly worth it. It destroys anything you can throw at it. The only thing that i can get to use the full processing power is prime 95. AUTO overclocks (Intel Turbo) to 3.01 GHZ on my setup. Encodes video/ photoshop filters/ intense games all without passing an average PCU usage of 75%. This thing also has a TON of overclocking potental, easily got 3.4ghz, I downclocked back because of temp.
- Cons: I really don't like the stock cooler, feels veryy cheap/ ineffective. It keeps my CPU at 40c idle, 65c load. Little toasty for my taste, plan to replace with a high quality air cooler.
- Other Thoughts: Dunno why i5 and i7 dont have common socket. i really want some if the i7 coolers but will not fit.

Highlights
 |
Intel Core i5 Quad-core Processor
With four processing cores, the multitasking monster Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor delivers fourfold the performance on highly-threaded applications, taking your desktop PC experience into a completely new realm of mega power. The powerful processor delivers serious performance on the ultra-demanding games of today and tomorrow. The innovative 45nm quad-core technology optimizes thermal performance for reduced power consumption and noise.
|
 |
Intel Advanced Smart Cache
Intel Advanced Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared L2 cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache, resulting in significantly reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.
|
 |
Intel Turbo Boost technology
Intel Turbo Boost technology maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload-more performance when you need it the most.
|
 |
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)
EIST allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency to decrease average power consumption and average heat production. Combined with existing power saving features, EIST may provide an excellent balance between providing power when you need it and conserving power when you don’t.
|
 |
Execute Disable Bit (EDB)
Intel's Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
|
 |
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)
With Intel VT, one hardware platform functions as multiple "virtual" platforms. For business, Intel VT offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, Intel VT allows creating unique user environments for multiple family members using the same platform simultaneously.
