From the Manufacturer
Part of Intel's family of 2nd generation Intel Core computer
processors, the Intel Core i5-2300 Processor delivers speed and smooth
performance--whether you're uploading and editing home videos or
checking your e-mail. This quad-core processor runs at 2.80 GHz and
uses the LGA1155 socket. It features a 6 MB L3 cache, Intel Turbo
Boost Technology 2.0, and Virtualization Technology to improve speed
and computing productivity. Built-in visual technologies, like Clear
Video and InTru3D, support high-definition and Blu-ray playback.
Quad-Core Processor Running at 2.80 GHz for Fast Performance
The Intel Core i5-2300 has four processing cores running at 2.80
GHz. It features a 6 MB L3 shared cache that is dynamically allocated
to each processor core, based on workload. This reduces latency and
improves performance.
Additionally, the i5 comes with Advanced Vector Extensions, a set
of instructions to improve software performance for intensive
applications like audio processing, audio codecs, and image and video
editing applications.
Turbo Boost for Extra Processor Speed
The Core i5-2300 features Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, which
delivers a burst of processor speed automatically when the workload
demands additional performance. The technology dynamically increases
the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and
power headroom when operating below specified limits. The result is
adaptive performance that's more intelligent and energy efficient.
Built-In Visuals Provide Rich, Steady Graphics
The built-in visuals of the Intel Core i5-2300 Processor deliver a
seamless graphic experience when you're viewing and manipulating
pictures and media on your PC. They also eliminate the need for a
discrete graphics card, reducing power consumption and system cost.
Intel Quick Sync Video enables quick conversions of video files
for portable media players or online sharing. Experience sharp images
and rich color with Clear Video Technology, which provides visual
quality and color fidelity enhancements for vivid high-definition and
Blu-ray playback. Intel HD Graphics offers enhanced 3D performance for
immersive mainstream and casual gaming without hesitations or
interruptions.
The Intel Core i5 is also equipped with Intel InTru3D, which
provides stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray playback in full 1080p resolution and
premium audio via HDMI 1.4.
Intel Virtualization Technology
Intel Virtualization Technology allows multiple "virtual"
environments to function on one hardware platform. It offers improved
manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by
isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
Optimized for Energy Efficiency
The Intel Core i5 is designed to optimize every watt of
electricity, resulting in a more energy-efficient system that is
cooler and cheaper to run. In a system with other energy-efficient
components, the processor can meet Energy Star specifications.
