News

Intel discontinues second-generation Core i5 and i7 CPUs
Sep 26, 2012: Yesterday Intel published several Product Change Notification (PCN) documents, advising their customers about upcoming discontinuation of Core i5 and i7 processors, and one Celeron SKU. Most of retired microprocessors are based on older Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, and they were introduced in the January - October 2011 time frame.



Intel Offers Performance Tuning Protection Plan
Jan 26, 2012: Typically, when you buy electronic parts and equipment they are only guaranteed to work according to published specs. If you overclock a part of your computer (usually the CPU, memory and/or graphics card) and it burns out you are not covered by the standard warranty. Most companies offer a limited warranty, which doesn't cover damage done by overclocking (classed as misuse), although some companies offer more flexible replacement terms as long as a non-working part cannot be seen to have been modified. Intel are now offering an added level of warranty protection, at a price, for those who wish to overclock their recent, high-end unlocked desktop SKUs.



Store prices for new Core i5 and Core i7 processors
Jan 09, 2011: You may already know that today is an official launch day of Sandy Bridge microprocessors, dubbed by Intel as "2nd generation Core" CPUs. In contrast to majority of past launches, when it took from one to several days for microprocessors to materialize in stores, the new Sandy Bridge CPUs are already available in retail.



Intel launches new desktop and mobile CPUs
Jan 09, 2011: Earlier this week, at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Intel announced 2nd generation Core microprocessors, based on just introduced Sandy Bridge micro-architecture. Today, Intel officially launched these processors, as well as a few models built on older Nehalem and Core technology. Intel's price list was updated with prices and brief specifications of all new CPUs.



Intel launches Sandy Bridge micro-architecture
Jan 06, 2011: On Monday, Intel announced new "2nd generation Core" desktop and mobile microprocessors, based on Sandy Bridge micro-architecture. The same day many hardware news sites published reviews of Sandy Bridge processors, and the universal conclusion was "yes, it's faster and better". Today Intel updated ARK database with details on all new models.



Prices and launch dates of desktop Sandy Bridge CPUs
Dec 02, 2010: While specifications of many Sandy Bridge desktop microprocessors were known for quite some time, since July of this year, prices and release dates of these models were unknown until last week. At the end of November Expreview revealed prices and launch dates of all Sandy Bridge-based desktop models. Expreview also published specifications of Pentium CPUs, that will be introduced in February and in the second quarter 2011.



Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs surface in Biostar CPU support list
Nov 16, 2010: Biostar published CPU support list for socket 1155 motherboards, which includes a number of upcoming Core i5 and Core i7 Sandy Bridge microprocessors. Processor frequency and Thermal Design Power characteristics in the published data match those from the earlier reports, that appeared months ago. The list references Core i5-2300 processor, that we first reported on three days ago.



Part numbers of desktop Sandy Bridge CPUs emerge on Intel website
Nov 13, 2010: Part numbers of OEM and boxed desktop microprocessors, based on upcoming Sandy Bridge micro-architecture, were published today on Intel's website. S-Spec numbers of these CPUs were also made public. This information confirms model numbers of upcoming Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 processors, that were revealed in July - August of this year. Also, there will be one new quad-core model, Intel Core i5-2300.

BX80623I52500K vs CM8062300833803

2011-11-26 18:15:14
Posted by: Lee M

BX80623I52500K £171.78 Inc VAT
CM8062300833803 £155.94 Inc VAT

Is there any difference between them?
CM8062300833803 is oem version - isnt it supposed to be more expensive then?

Response: OEM version should be cheaper. OEM processors have one month or one year warranty from the seller, while boxed processors have three years warranty from Intel, and come with the fan/heatsink.

May it be an Intel HD 3000?

Response: You're right, it has HD 3000 graphics. The page was updated. Thank you!

Difference betweek 2500 and 2500K

2012-04-26 13:38:22
Posted by: Bambooz

Is there any specific reason why the "normal" i5 2500 has "Trusted Execution technology" listed in the features, but the i5 2500K doesn't?!

I highly doubt they would remove the evil DRM crap..

Response: The processor is targeted at computer enthusiasts, therefore Intel does not include some features, used by businesses (TXT and VT-d)
