Intel Core i5-7500T: Overview
The Intel Core i5-7500T is a desktop processor from the Core i5 line. It was released in January 2017 and uses the Kaby Lake architecture with Socket 1151. It is built on a 14 nm process.
The processor has 4 cores and 4 threads. Its base clock is 2.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.3 GHz depending on the workload. It has 6 MB of L3 cache. Its thermal design power (TDP) is 35 W, which is lower than the TDP of standard desktop Core i5 chips.
Key Specifications
| Specification | Intel Core i5-7500T |
|---|---|
| Architecture | Kaby Lake |
| Process | 14 nm |
| Cores / Threads | 4 / 4 |
| Base clock | 2.7 GHz |
