INTEL Core i5 11500 11th Generation Processor ( 4.6 GHz / 6 Cores / 12 Threads )

Features of INTEL Core i5 11500 11th Generation Processor

1. Introducing the newest and fastest 11th Gen Intel Core i5 desktop processor, built based on 14 nm lithography supporting Socket type LGA 1200. The Processors features 6 Cores and 12 Threads which allow the processor to run multiple programs simultaneously without slowing down the system. Hyper Threading Technology allow instructions to be handled by a single CPU core.
2. With 2.7GHz Base frequency, the Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 2.0 cranks maximum turbo frequency up to a blazing 4.6GHz. The processor is desirable for a gamer looking for a fantastic in-game experience and a creator that is ready to do more creating and sharing alike.
3. All this paired with 12MB of Intel Smart Cache. It has a TDP rating of 65W with max memory size of 128GB dual-channel DDR4 support for up-to 3200MHz with Intel top notch security features.
4. Vomes with built-in Intel UHD Graphics 750 and 4K support at 60Hz, To keep your processor cool it comes with a bundled CPU fan.

The Intel Core i5-11500 was a desktop processor with 6 cores, launched in March 2021, at an MSRP of $192. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Rocket Lake-S architecture with Socket 1200. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 12 threads. Core i5-11500 has 12 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.7 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.6 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is making the Core i5-11500 on a 14 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Core i5-11500, which limits its overclocking potential.

With a TDP of 65 W, the Core i5-11500 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 3200 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, Core i5-11500 uses a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection. This processor features the UHD Graphics 750 integrated graphics solution.

Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i5-11500, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel has added support for the newer AVX2 and AVX-512 instructions, too.
