Intel Core i5-8500 3.0GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Proce

Product information: Core i5-8500 3.0GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail Coffee Lake Intels eight generation of CPUs go by this codename and represent the successor to the Socket 1151 Kaby Lake and Skylake series. Although they share the same socket designation, they are not compatible with older chipsets due to a range of optimisations to Coffee Lake CPUs. On this basis, they require a 300- series chipset. The Coffee Lake Intel Core i5 processors offer six CPU cores, high clock frequencies and new Turbo Boost Features - all at a TDP of just 65 Watts! The Intel Core i5-8500 at a Glance: 6 physical cores with plenty of power 3,0 GHz base clock with 65 Watt TDP 4,1 GHz boost clock & Turbo Boost 2.0 9 Megabyte L3 Cache Supports DDR4-2.666 (Dual Channel) Revised UHD 630 Graphics Only compatible with motherboards utilising 300- series chipsets! Attention: Boxed version with CPU cooler! The Intel Core i5-8500: Powerful Hexa-Core Processor The Intel Core i5-8500 offers a clock frequency of 3,0 GHz which, thanks to Turbo Boost 2.0, clocks up to 4,1 GHz ansteigen kann. It should be noted that the boost frequencies vary depending on whether 1-, 2-, 4-, or 6 cores are in operation. This enables Coffee Lake CPUs to maximise their performance and allows users to optimise CPU usage depending on whether the processor is being used for games or applications. The L3 cache has been increased to 9 megabytes and the Thermal Design Power (TDP) sits at 65 Watts. One fundamental difference compared to the Skylake- and Kaby Lake generations is that Coffee Lake is only compatible with faster and more efficient DDR4-RAM. The four-core processors support frequencies up to 2.400 MHz while six-core processors support up to 2.666 MHz. In terms of the socket itself Intel has opted to retain LGA 1151, although it is vitally important that a motherboard with a 300- series chipset is used. This is due to the fact that the processor may otherwise suffer damage due to alterations i...
