Intel Core i5-4570 6M Cache Up to 3.60 GHz 4 Core 4 Threads Processor

The Intel BX80646I54570 is a desktop processor that balances everyday speed with efficiency, making it a smart choice for home offices, student rigs, and small business systems. With four physical cores running at 3.2 GHz and the ability to reach 3.6 GHz through Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, it keeps spreadsheets, web browsers, and productivity apps feeling quick even when several are open at once.

The processor relies on 6 MB of Intel Smart Cache to reduce wait times when you open frequently used programs, and it works with up to 32 GB of DDR3-1600 memory, so multitasking remains responsive as your workload grows. Built-in Intel HD Graphics 4600 lets you stream high-definition video, edit photos, or enjoy casual games without investing in a separate graphics card, which helps keep system costs and power use down.

For users who run virtual machines or test multiple operating systems, Intel Virtualization Technology provides smoother resource allocation and easier management. Security instructions such as AES and Execute Disable Bit add an extra layer of protection against data theft and malicious code. Because the chip fits the widely available LGA 1150 socket, it slots straight into many existing boards, making upgrades straightforward.
