Intel Core i5-2500S CPU
The Intel Core i5-2500S is a 65 W Sandy Bridge quad-core processor for LGA1155 sockets, released in 2011.
The Intel Core i5-2500S is a 64-bit quad-core processor based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, manufactured on a 32 nm process. It features 4 cores and 4 threads with a base clock of 2.7 GHz and a boost clock of 3.7 GHz. The processor includes 6 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR3 memory at 1066/1333 MHz across two channels, but does not support ECC memory. It has an integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 GPU and 16 PCIe 2.0 lanes. The CPU has a TDP of 65 W and uses the LGA1155 socket. It supports instruction sets including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX, but the multiplier is locked. The i5-2500S was released in January 2011 and discontinued in January 2013.
