It combines the power of four 2.66 GHz computing cores into a single processor, guaranteeing enough processing power for the most demanding applications. With 8 MB of smart cache, the Core i5-750 processor ensures that you get maximum responsiveness from your system, even when several intensive programs run simultaneously. Compatible with motoards based on the Intel P55 chipset, the Core i5-750 processor is the choice for mainstream users who want to maximize in-home PC performance. Powerful New Microarchitecture Eliminates Slowdown The Intel Core i5-750 processor implements a radical new style of microarchitecture. Intel engineers replaced the front side bus -- a longtime ste of processor design -- with a new interconnect technology called Direct Media Interface (DMI). Using DMI, the i5-750 achieves superior levels of bandwidth, and can use its four computing cores to their maximum potential. To put it simply, users will enjoy faster and more streamlined processing than ever before. Your computer will handle multiple projects and applications without the slowdown you'd experience with a lesser processor. Extremely intensive programs like high-definition media editors will run more smoothly and responsively. And you'll be able to experience next-generation games without frame-rate hiccups and slowdowns. New Technologies Boost Performance The Intel Core i5-750 processor also makes use of some other cutting-edge technologies: * Turbo Boost Technology allows the processor to run up to 133 MHz faster when it's operating below power/thermal limits. * Smart Cache Memory increases available RAM resources, leading to less lag while multi-tasking. Unlike the Intel Core i7 processor line, the Intel Core i5-750 processor does not feature Hyper-threading capability, so it will perform slightly worse when dealing with multi-threaded programs. Still, the Core i5-750 processor compares favorably with Core i7 processors in nearly all other respects. Media Editing and Gaming Faster than Ever Whether editing high-definition videos, touching up family photos, or splicing up music, the Intel Core i5-750 processor will provide the processing power needed. The processor's four cores are optimized to keep up with the most advanced digital editing software. Compared to the previous generation of Intel Core2 processors, the Intel Core i5-750 processor can process HD video almost twice as fast. It also accelerates DVD encoding and compression, allowing you to easily share your HD home videos with everyone. The Intel Core i5-750 processor is also designed to handle the intense calculations and graphical rendering behind today's latest games. It has the ability to process thousands of graphical characteristics at once, resulting in a smooth and lag-free experience. The Intel Core i5-750 processor is backed by a three-year limited warranty.
