When it comes to processor performance excellence, Intel continues to go all out with its latest market entries. Released in early September 2009, the Intel Core i5 processor is one of Intel’s recent innovations, delivering intelligent performance with a boost of speed. This processor offers solid performance for everyday applications, not to mention its ability to increase speed as needed for the most demanding tasks. And it is already promoted as the main version of Intel Core i7.

Mobility

The Intel Core i5 processor will power an ultra-slim laptop to enhance not only its performance, but also its style. Now you can enjoy a laptop that’s much faster, smarter and thinner than ever before, in an ultra-sleek design and with improved battery life. A thinner laptop weighs less and is more portable, allowing for greater mobility.

Performance

Intel Core i5 Turbo Boost Technology enables automatic acceleration of the processor when the PC requires additional performance, giving you intelligent performance with a speed boost. However, this feature is only available on select models of Intel Core i5 processor-based systems.

Intel Hyper-Threading Technology features 4-way multitasking processing that allows each processor core to handle 2 tasks simultaneously, thus providing the performance required for intelligent multitasking. No matter how many applications you are working with at the same time, you and your PC will not slow down at all.

Intel HD Graphics technology is included to provide excellent visual performance for rich colors, sharp images, as well as lifelike video and audio. Now you can enjoy your movies and Internet videos in high definition, get full compatibility with Microsoft Windows 7, and play popular game titles. You can do all this without the need for an additional additional video card, since everything is integrated.

Laptops with Intel Core i5 processor and 4g WiMAX wireless technology can deliver excellent smart performance from Internet speed which is four times faster than 3G.

Compatibility

Intel Core i5 processors are used to power ultra-slim notebooks such as the Sony VAIO Series, HP dv4, Dell Inspiron 15R, Toshiba Satellite L500, HP Pavilion dv4i Series, CyberPower Xplorer X5, Sager NP7652, ASUS N61JV, CyberPower Xplorer X5, and Lenovo ThinkPad T Series .

Security

Intel Core i5 is optimized for a number of security-related technologies, including MacAfee security, WinZip file compression, Bit Locker on Windows 7 64-bit, as well as PGP security. This will come as a relief to laptop owners, as an estimated 12,000 laptops are stolen every week at airports alone.
