Intel Core i5-750

The Intel Core i5-750 is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2009. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Lynnfield microarchitecture. The i5-750 is compatible with Intel Socket 1156 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 45 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-750 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-750 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 8 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-750 features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.2 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-750 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i5-750 has the 403rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 14.04% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
