Intel Core i5-3570K

4C/4T · 3.8 GHz · 77 W

The Core i5-3570K is the unlocked quad-core flagship of Intel's third-generation Core i5 line, built on the 22 nm Ivy Bridge design that introduced Intel's tri-gate transistors. It forgoes Hyper-Threading in favor of four physical cores within a 77 W envelope, and integrates HD Graphics 4000 alongside the PCI Express 3.0 controller new to this generation. The unlocked multiplier made it a mainstay of enthusiast LGA1155 builds.
