Intel Core i5-2500T CPU

The Intel Core i5-2500T is a 45 W quad-core processor for LGA1155 sockets, released in 2011 as part of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture.

The Intel Core i5-2500T is a 4-core, 4-thread desktop processor based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, manufactured on a 32 nm process. It operates at a base frequency of 2.30 GHz with a maximum turbo boost of 3.30 GHz and includes 6 MB of L3 cache. The CPU has a TDP of 45 W, making it a low-power variant in the Core i5-2500 series. It features an integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 GPU and supports up to DDR3-1333 memory across two channels, without ECC support. The processor uses the LGA1155 socket and provides 16 PCIe 2.0 lanes. It supports instruction sets including Intel SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX, but its multiplier is locked, preventing overclocking. The i5-2500T was released in 2011 and discontinued in 2013.
