Only compatible with 500 series chipsets and W480, Z490, H470, Q470
The best results in the case of 11th generation (Rocket Lake) processors will be achieved by combining them with motherboards based on the 500 series chipset. The processors are also compatible with older chipsets: W480, Z490, H470, Q470 (an update of the motherboard BIOS may be required). Chipsets other than those listed are not supported.
A processor created for gamers
The Intel Core i5-11500 processor was designed and created for computer gaming. Its 6-core design will ensure very good performance even in the hardest games, and you will never complain about power drops. The processor cores will be supported by as many as 12 logical threads that will help you run programs, which will help you achieve even better performance. The single core is clocked at 2.7 GHz, which is absolutely sufficient. However, if you run out of power, the processor is equipped with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, which will automatically increase the clock frequency to 4.6 GHz, so you will always have enough power. 12 MB of Intel Smart Cache technology will help you operate frequently used programs and applications, so your daily activities will run smoothly.
Integrated graphics system
An element that may prove irreplaceable in unexpected moments is certainly the integrated graphics card. This is what can save you when a dedicated solution of this type fails. This processor uses the Intel UHD Graphics 750 chip. This is a new solution from Intel. Its maximum clock frequency is 1300 MHz, so it supports 4K resolution up to 60 frames per second. This will mean that even with the integrated graphics card you will be able to play most games on your PC. Additionally, the card supports the latest graphics libraries, such as DirectX 12 or OpenGL 4.5. Many image-enhancing technologies, such as Intel Clear Video HD or Intel InTru 3D, will make the image even smoother and clearer, so you won't experience ghosting in computer games.
Innovative technologies
The manufacturer decided to use many modern and innovative technologies in this processor. Thanks to Intel Deep Learning Boost, this CPU unit is equipped with an Artificial Intelligence system that learns how you use your computer and then adjusts the processor's operating parameters to achieve the highest possible performance in the programs or applications you frequently use. In turn, Intel Optane memory support will allow you to significantly speed up the operation of your old HDD, making it run even faster than even at the beginning of its operation. Intel Hyper-Threading will allow you to use the processor's logical threads to increase performance and stability in the most computer-intensive tasks, such as film editing and rendering or new computer games. With Intel vPro, you can be sure that your hardware will always remain safe.
Modern technological process
Intel uses a modern, yet proven, 14 nm technological process to produce its processors. This solution allows you to significantly reduce the processor's power consumption, which also has a very positive effect on its operating temperature. The TDP (Thermal Design Power) in this unit is set at 65 W. Thanks to this, your electricity bills will drop significantly and the performance of your personal computer will remain at an even higher level. Thanks to modern lithography, heat dissipation from the CPU unit has also been improved, so there is no need to purchase a separate CPU cooler. In the BOX version, the manufacturer includes an air cooler in the set that will easily handle this unit, and you will be able to enjoy unbridled entertainment at the highest level all the time.
Stay safe
A very important element for every personal computer user is certainly work and entertainment security. The Intel Core i5-11500 processor uses the latest security technologies that will protect you and your equipment against unexpected attacks. Thanks to identity protection solutions, you can be sure that you will always remain anonymous on the Internet and your confidential data will never fall into the wrong hands. Intel Secure Key technology adds additional data encryption keys, making it much more difficult for hackers to steal your information and files, so you can use your computer with peace of mind. The operating system will be protected by a solution called Intel OS Guard and Intel Boot Guard. They ensure that you will not experience any unpleasant surprises both during startup and operation of the system.
