Product Description
From the Manufacturer
A budget-friendly alternative to Intel's i7 line, the Intel Core i5-750 processor provides robust performance for all your office, gaming, and multimedia needs. It combines the power of four 2.66 GHz computing cores into a single processor, guaranteeing enough processing power for the most demanding applications. With 8 MB of smart cache, the Core i5-750 processor ensures that you get maximum responsiveness from your system, even when several intensive programs run simultaneously. Compatible with motherboards based on the Intel P55 chipset, the Core i5-750 processor is the choice for mainstream users who want to maximize in-home PC performance.
Powerful New Microarchitecture Eliminates Slowdown
The Intel Core i5-750 processor implements a radical new style of microarchitecture. Intel engineers replaced the front side bus -- a longtime staple of processor design -- with a new interconnect technology called Direct Media Interface (DMI). Using DMI, the i5-750 achieves superior levels of bandwidth, and can use its four computing cores to their maximum potential.
Compared to the previous generation of Intel Core2 processors, the Intel Core i5-750 processor can process HD video almost twice as fast. It also accelerates DVD encoding and compression, allowing you to easily share your HD home videos with everyone.

Using DMI, the i5-750 achieves superior levels of bandwidth, and can use its four computing cores to their maximum potential.
To put it simply, users will enjoy faster and more streamlined processing than ever before. Your computer will handle multiple projects and applications without the slowdown you'd experience with a lesser processor.
Extremely intensive programs like high-definition media editors will run more smoothly and responsively. And you'll be able to experience next-generation games without frame-rate hiccups and slowdowns.
New Technologies Boost Performance
The Intel Core i5-750 processor also makes use of some other cutting-edge technologies:
- Turbo Boost Technology allows the processor to run up to 133 MHz faster when it's operating below power/thermal limits.
- Smart Cache Memory increases available RAM resources, leading to less lag while multi-tasking.
Media Editing and Gaming Faster than Ever
Whether editing high-definition videos, touching up family photos, or splicing up music, the Intel Core i5-750 processor will provide the processing power needed. The processor's four cores are optimized to keep up with the most advanced digital editing software.

JUST BUY IT,

This review is from: Intel Core i5 750 Processor 2.66 GHz 8 MB LGA1156 CPU I5-750BOX (Personal Computers)
Incredible processor for the money. Absolutely the best bang for buck CPU on the market right now. I laughed when this thing opened Photoshop in a couple of seconds. It eats anything in its path and blitzes through games. As a test, I opened about 20 applications (including Photoshop with it's heavy memory requirements) and switched quickly between programs in order to try and trip the CPU up. While I did this, I was playing music from a playlist of several thousand songs, painting/editing an image in PS, and most importantly, running Windows XP in a virtual machine inside Windows 7. 1GB RAM was dedicated to XP, along with 64MB of graphics memory. Would you believe it, there was no lag. Awesome.
I'm using it with a Gigabyte GA-P55 UD3R board, 2 x 2GB Patriot Viper II 'Sector 5' 1600MHz RAM, and Samsung's (latest) Spinpoint F3 hard drive (model HD501HJ). OS is Windows 7 32-bit. The whole thing runs beautifully! Just a heads up -- Windows 7 32-bit will only use 3.5GB RAM. No use buying more than 4GB in a 32-bit environment, and you need to make sure you buy RAM that will run at 1.65V or less. Do your homework before buying. Had this thing doing 4GHz on the stock cooler with just a minor bump in voltage, mainly just to see how well it overclocks and scales with voltage increases. No complaints at all. The cooler will definitely be replaced as soon as funds permit. The stock Intel cooler is abysmal. I would not recommend anything but a minor OC using it. The cooler to buy for this CPU is the Prolimatech Megahalems, which isn't cheap, but those looking for superior performance need look no further. The Megahalems is the best choice. Dynamic overclocking using Turbo Mode is excellent. The stock multiplier for the 750 is 20x. Using a Gigabyte P55 board, the multiplier goes as high as 24x when dynamically overclocking. Power consumption at idle during light tasks such as web surfing and playing music is fantastic. According to Everest, it uses just under 7 watts at idle. I feel this is an important point considering the current state of the economy. Any saving on electricity bills is worth thinking about unless you have money to burn. My sweet spot seems to be 148 BCLK (2.94GHz). At this speed, the CPU is able to dynamically overclock up to around 3.5Ghz and then lower the multiplier down to 9x when idle, which of course lowers the frequency, which of course means lower electricity bills. Thanks, Intel, for making a great processor at a reasonable price. An i7 system running on X58 chipset would have cost a lot more. I wasn't prepared to pay the price because I am not a fool. I am more than happy with the i5 750, it's a very impressive CPU that should serve anybody well for a good few years.

This review is from: Intel Core i5 750 Processor 2.66 GHz 8 MB LGA1156 CPU I5-750BOX (Personal Computers)
This processor is part of a ground up gaming build that I've done and upon completion this little baby rocks. It is very fast and will quickly prove itself as something incredibly difficult to bog down. I don't think that I have been able to push this processor to its limits yet and believe me I've tried. I wouldn't waste your money or time considering a faster 1156 processor unless you have *EVERY* possible bottleneck accounted for. Believe me you won't be dissapointed.

Fast, Cool and Easy Overclock,

This review is from: Intel Core i5 750 Processor 2.66 GHz 8 MB LGA1156 CPU I5-750BOX (Personal Computers)
Love this I5-750. It's fast and cool. It runs under 50C under load in turbo @3.2G. Overclocked to 3.8g with stock heatsink. Convert video and play HDTV with ease.
Need to be careful with the selection of DDR3. Initially paired with A-Data 2x2G and had random blue screens. Changed to Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 and problem solved. Stock heatsink is on the small side, but it did get the job done.
