Technology of Intel Core i5

Intel Core i5 using code-named Lynnfield same as Intel Core i7 that have been circulating in the market. But there are some technologies, such as technology Tri-channel memory removed, QuickPath interconnect is reduced to make room on the Direct Media Interface. Certainly, Intel Core i5 already using fabricated 45 nm, the same as Intel Core i7. 

This processor has some speed, such as 2.66 GHz, 2.80 GHz and 2.93 GHz with 8 MB of L3 cache, Hyper-Threading feature, and features TurboBoost Technology. TDP is required by this processor is 95 W. Especially for an Intel Core i5 uses a different socket for Intel Core i7, there is LGA1156. Of course this could benefit the Intel socket LGA 1366 which has just launched, it already uses the latest socket again. At the very least will make consumers think twice about doing the upgrade using RIG Intel.

Intel Core i5 also has another code name, there name is Clarkdale. It only has 2 processor cores in it. Speed of 3.2 GHz owned them until 3:46 GHz, with support for hyperthreading and TurboBoost. Clarkdale has a 4 MB L3 cache, and TDP required is 73 W.

WHAT MOTHERBOARD ARE SUPPORTS WITH INTEL CORE i5 ?

Some producers in droves this issue processor supporting mainboard. Of course with the latest chipset from Intel, the Intel P55 in it. Large producers are like ASUS and Gigabyte are always competing not want to miss. Asus, with its products P7P55D ASUS, and Gigabyte GA-P55-UD5 and GA-P55-UD4P.

The most visible technological development of the P55 chipset motherboards to, among other things is to have 24 power phase, support for the SATA-III/SATA 6 Gbit / s with the chipset used is from Marvel, and a combo d idesain SATA-II/III. This motherboard supports 4 SATA ports-III, and 6 SATA-II ports with RAID 0 and 1.

It is to be pitied are Intel issued a processor using a new socket type, socket 1156. While the socket 1366 can be absorbed by the market just is not good. For problems RIG upgrades, good compatibility and price, I must admit AMD is still the most "friendly".
