The Intel Core i5-8600 is a 6-core, 6-thread desktop processor based on the Coffee Lake microarchitecture, released in April 2018.
The Intel Core i5-8600 is a mid-range desktop processor from Intel's 8th generation Coffee Lake family, launched in April 2018. It features 6 physical cores and 6 threads, with a base clock of 3.10 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The processor includes 9 MB of L3 cache and is built on a 14 nm process node. It has a TDP of 65 W and uses the FCLGA1151 socket. The i5-8600 supports dual-channel DDR4-2666 memory and does not support ECC memory. It integrates Intel UHD Graphics 630, providing basic graphics capabilities without a discrete GPU. The CPU offers 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes for connecting peripherals. It supports 64-bit computing and instruction sets including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX2. The multiplier is locked, preventing overclocking. The processor was discontinued in June 2025.
