Want a processor with dramatic performance gain at low operating voltage? The new Intel 22nm 3-D Tri-Gate transistors technology employed in the Intel 3rd generation Core processor makes your dream come true with an incredible leap in combination of performance and power efficiency. The 3rd generation Intel Core i5 processor delivers even more performance automatically when you need it and now a better visual PC experience built-in. With Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the 3rd generation Intel Core i5 processor increases your PC’s speed automatically for your demanding applications. It also includes new built-in graphics with DirectX 11 support and a rich set of new features for a stunning and seamless visual PC experience with no additional hardware required. That’s visibly smart performance with a boost. Moreover, the 3nd generation Intel Core processor with alpha suffix “S” that indicates “Performance Optimized Lifestyle” has a lower TDP of 65W, ideal for both performance and energy conscious users.
Intel Revolutionary 22nm transistors technologyTransistors have now entered the third dimension. Intel brings 22nm 3-D Tri-Gate transistors (the core of microprocessors) to its third generation Core processors Ivy Bridge. Intel's 3-D Tri-Gate transistors are an important innovation needed to continue Moore’s law and deliver an unprecedented combination of performance and power efficiency. By forming conducting channels on three sides of a vertical fin structure, Tri-Gate transistors can have multiple fins connected together to increase total drive strength for higher performance. The new 22nm 3-D Tri-Gate transistors can deliver up to 37% performance increase at low voltage and more than 50% power reduction at low voltage.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0More intelligent, energy-efficient, and dynamic than previous generation, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 gives you accelerating performance when you need it. It delivers an even greater automatic speed increase by allowing processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency for demanding applications if the processor is operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
Intel smart cacheIntel Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from faster, more efficient cache subsystem resulting in significantly reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.
Integrated memory controllerIntegrated memory controller enables two channels of DDR3 1333/1600 MHz memory, resulting in up to 25.6 GB/sec memory bandwidth. Plus the memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.
Built-in visualsThe visual features built into the 3nd generation Intel Core processor family deliver everything you need to enjoy a stunning and seamless visual experience. Intel Quick Sync Video and newly-added Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) make media processing incredibly fast. New built-in Intel HD Graphics with DirectX 11 support delivers discrete 3D graphics performance without the needed cost and power of a discrete graphics card, and features Intel Clear Video Technology that enhances video playback, image quality, and color fidelity for a premium visual experience. What’s more, add another dimension to what you see on your PC with Intel InTRU 3D technology which supports stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray playback in full 1080p resolution over HDMI 1.4 and premium audio.
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.

Pros: * Low Power usage * Runs cool * Perfect price point
Cons: * Didn't notice a large real world performance increase over previous i5s.
Overall Review: I purchased the i5-750 back in January of 2010 for $200. 2 and a half years later I purchased the i5-3450S for $200. Both CPUs sold for the same amount considering when they were brought to market and that's impressive. I've never benchmarked either CPU; instead I gauge performance in applications and gaming to see if I can recognize a noticeable difference. I didn't really notice much of a increase, but that's not a bad thing. The i5-3450S uses less power, runs cooler and the cores aren't as stressed as the old i5 (according to Windows Task Manager). I would equate it to buying a newer model of the same car you have now. There are small improvements, but it's not going to be a world of difference. The computer industry as a whole seems to be slowing down. My old i5 still has plenty of power to run every program/game on my computer perfectly. If you buy this CPU you won't need to upgrade for at least 3 years or so. Your GPU on the other hand...
