Intel Core i5-7500

Intel introduces  the 7th generation of its processes this time codenamed Kaby Lake. Basically, it is a very similar architecture to the previous successful Skylake series. Intel, however, has worked on various optimizations and the result is a processor that delivers real performance growth while maintaining minimal energy performance.

Key features

• Ideal for demanding firmware deployments and players
• High operating frequency up to 3.8 GHz
• Turbo Boost 3.0 technology - faster switching to maximum operating frequency
• Compatible with existing motherboard generation with a 1151 socket
• Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 graphics card
• Cooler box included

Improved manufacturing technology

The Kaby Lake architecture is once again based on a 14nm production process. Beginning with demanding manufacturing, Intel is doing its utmost excellence, offering this processor an excellent price / performance ratio. As with the predecessors, there are AES-NI instructions that provide much better hardware support when working with encrypted drives , with a noticeable reduction in latency. Of course, support for the usual virtualization features VT-d and VT-x including EPT. The four-core Intel Core i5-7600 quad-core works reliably at a high frequency of 3.8 GHz.

Access to data is greatly facilitated by a fast 6 MB L3 cache that gives kernels enough time to instantly respond to all applications. This processor with its features will surely serve as a reliable foundation for your computer assembly.

Compatibility with your motherboard

Thanks to Intel's focus on optimizing existing technology, the new Kaby Lake processors also work on the previously sold motherboards with 1151 slots . It is only necessary to verify compatibility with the motherboard manufacturer and make a relatively simple update of the UEFI environment.
