Understanding Intel Core i5 Processors in Compact PCs
The query "HP Intel Core i5 CPU Price" typically refers to the cost of Hewlett-Packard computers equipped with Intel's Core i5 processors. However, as a manufacturer, Thinvent provides a direct alternative with our own range of compact and industrial PCs featuring the latest Intel Core i5 CPUs. Our focus is on delivering robust, customizable computing solutions built with reliable Indian manufacturing for a global customer base. The price of a system is not defined by the CPU alone but is a function of the complete configuration—including RAM, storage, form factor, and software—allowing for significant value optimization.
Intel Core i5 processors, especially in their modern U-series and P-series variants, offer an exceptional balance of performance and power efficiency, making them ideal for embedded and desktop applications. Key specifications to consider include:
-
Generation: Ranging from 12th to 14th Gen in our current lineup, with newer generations offering improved performance per watt.
-
Core Count: Typically 10 or 12 hybrid cores (Performance-cores and Efficient-cores), enabling smooth multitasking.
-
Max Frequency: Boost speeds from 4.4 GHz up to 5.0 GHz for demanding single-threaded tasks.
-
Cache: 12 MB of Intel Smart Cache for faster data access.
-
Thermal Design Power (TDP): These are low-power processors (15W-28W), perfect for fanless or small-form-factor designs without sacrificing capability.
These processors are engineered for diverse professional use cases. Their reliability and performance make them suitable for:
-
Digital Signage & Kiosks: Powering 24/7 displays in retail and public spaces.
-
Industrial Automation: Acting as a controller in manufacturing environments.
-
Office Productivity & Thin Clients: Handling business applications, virtual desktops, and conferencing.
-
Edge Computing: Processing data locally in IoT networks for smart cities or logistics.
To help differentiate between the common Intel Core i5 models in our portfolio, here is a comparison:
| Processor Model | Generation | Cores (P+E) | Max Turbo Frequency | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core i5-1250P | 12th | 12 (4P + 8E) | 4.4 GHz | Industrial PCs, high-performance mini PCs |
| Core i5-1335U | 13th | 10 (2P + 8E) | 4.6 GHz | Versatile mini PCs for general business |
| Core 5 120U | 14th | 10 (2P + 8E) | 5.0 GHz | Latest mini PCs for maximum efficiency |
