Do you need to revive your desktop PC, build an affordable multimedia computer, or are you looking for a reliable replacement part for a corporate workstation? The quad-core Intel Core i5-6500 processor from Intel's 6th generation (Skylake) brings the ideal balance between solid performance, low power consumption, and modern technologies.

Thanks to its advanced 14nm manufacturing process and support for fast DDR4 memory, this processor is a great way to ensure the smooth operation of Windows, office applications, and multimedia without spending huge amounts on the latest hardware.

Key Features of the Intel Core i5-6500 Processor

• 4 fully-fledged physical cores with a base frequency of 3.20 GHz.
• Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, which automatically increases the clock speed up to 3.60 GHz under heavy load.
• Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 graphics chip with 4K resolution and DirectX 12 support.
• Support for modern and fast DDR4 RAM (as well as low-voltage DDR3L).
• Efficient 14nm architecture with low thermal output (TDP of only 65 W).
• Designed for the widespread Socket LGA1151.

Powerful Multitasking for Work and Home Entertainment

With the Intel Core i5-6500, nothing will slow you down during regular tasks. Equipped with a 6MB Intel Smart Cache and four cores, it handles demanding multitasking with ease. Whether you are working with large databases, editing photos, streaming high-definition video, or having dozens of tabs open in your browser – the processor responds quickly and stably.

Integrated Intel HD 530 Graphics with 4K Support

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 graphics core significantly reduces the cost of building or maintaining a PC. It easily handles connecting multiple monitors simultaneously and provides seamless 4K video playback at 60 Hz (when connected via DisplayPort).
