Intel Core i5-8500 processor SR3XE
Used desktop six-core Intel Core i5-8500 processor (Socket LGA1151, up to 4.1 GHz) with UHD 630 graphics. Great performance for office and gaming PCs (300-series chipsets only).
Intel Core i5-8500 Processor (LGA1151) – Excellent Six-Core Coffee Lake Performance
Are you building a powerful new computer from proven parts, or do you want to drastically upgrade your current setup with a 300-series motherboard? The Intel Core i5-8500 processor from the revolutionary 8th generation (Coffee Lake) brought a significant generational leap in performance by increasing the number of physical cores to six. It is an ideal choice for demanding users, gamers, and professionals.
Thanks to its six fully-fledged cores and high frequency, this processor easily handles modern gaming, video editing, streaming, and heavy multitasking where older quad-core models start to lose their breath.
Key Features of the Intel Core i5-8500 Processor
- 6 physical cores (a generational increase of 2 cores) for massive performance in multi-threaded applications.
- Base clock of 3.00 GHz with advanced Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, automatically pushing performance up to 4.10 GHz.
- Modern integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 chip with hardware support for 4K video.
- Expanded 9 MB Intel Smart Cache for lightning-fast system responsiveness.
- Support for fast DDR4-2666 MHz memory.
- Designed for the Socket LGA1151 (requires 300-series chipsets).
Six Cores for Maximum Smoothness
Compared to previous generations of the i5 family, the i5-8500 model offers a full 6 cores. In practice, this means you can simultaneously play a modern game, run streaming software or voice communication in the background, and have dozens of demanding web pages open in your browser. The processor intelligently distributes the load, ensuring perfectly smooth operation without frame drops.
Improved Intel UHD 630 Graphics
The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 core easily handles smooth video playback in stunning 4K resolution at 60 Hz, the connection of up to three monitors simultaneously, and hardware acceleration during content creation. For office work and multimedia, it completely eliminates the need to purchase a dedicated graphics card.
Compatibility and Application
This processor is designed for motherboards with the **LGA1151 socket**. Please note – due to different power delivery requirements, it is necessary to use motherboards with Intel 300-series chipsets (e.g., H310, B360, H370, Z370, Z390, Q370).
It is a great foundation for building an affordable gaming PC or as a replacement part for modern corporate computers from Dell, HP, and Lenovo (e.g., Dell OptiPlex 3060/5060/7060, HP EliteDesk 800 G4).
