Intel Core i5-11500B

6C/12T · 4.6 GHz · 65 W

The Core i5-11500B is a six-core desktop processor based on Intel's 10 nm SuperFin Tiger Lake architecture, introduced in the second quarter of 2021. The B suffix means it comes in a ball grid array (BGA) package soldered to the motherboard, so it appears in compact desktops and mini PCs rather than as a boxed CPU. It offers PCIe 4.0 lanes directly from the processor and Xe-LP based UHD Graphics with 32 execution units.
