• The Intel® Core™ i7-5775-C desktop processor with the support from the latest graphics APIs (DX11.2, DX12 ready) mainstream games and apps will run up to 2X better graphics performance than 4th Gen Core™ i7-4790s Intel Core processor. 27
• Intel Quick Sync Video technology accelerates most video capabilities, allowing users to create and share in real-time and multi-task without interruption.
• 5th Gen Intel Core processors also support graphics programmability features like OpenCL 2.0 so programmers can easily take advantage of the graphics compute capabilities

Better, more responsive performance

5th Gen Intel Core processors combine the power efficiency of the new 14nm process with improvements in processor instructions to deliver faster performance. The 5th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor supports four cores and four threads. The Intel® Core™ i7 supports up to four cores and up to eight threads thanks to Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology3 (Intel® HT Technology). In addition, Intel® Turbo Boost 2.02 dynamically controls the performance and power of both cores and graphics--boosting performance exactly where and when it is needed and saving energy when it counts.

Diverse Form Factors

5th Gen Intel Core processors enable a diverse portfolio of form factors to meet every lifestyle and work style. From traditional desktops to All-in-One PCs and Mini Desktop PC, the 5th Gen Intel Core processor is the flexible solution for mainstream and innovative desktop systems. The Intel Core i5 processor and the Intel Core i7 processor with Intel Iris™ Pro graphics have a 65W TDP and offers a configurable TDP down option to provide more flexibility to LOEMs System designs.

Features

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0

Dynamically increases the processor's frequency, as needed, by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom when operating below specified limits.

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology

Delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.

Intel® Built-In Visuals

Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics - Delivers mainstream discrete-level29 graphics with dedicated on-die resources to process your videos, games and visual tasks..

• Intel® Iris™ Graphics -- Delivers stunning 3D visuals and faster, more advanced video and photo editing than 4th Generation Intel® Core™ processors. For high-speed game performance on the go and in your home.
• Intel® HD Graphics -- Play HD videos with exceptional clarity, view and edit even the smallest details of photos, and play today's modern games.
• Intel® Quick Sync Video -- Delivers excellent video conferencing capability, fast video conversion, online sharing, and fast video editing and authoring.
• Intel® Clear Video HD -- Visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for HD playback and immersive web browsing.
• Intel® Wireless Display -- Lets you beam your apps and personal and online content such as movies, photos, and music to an HDTV with a simple wireless connection.

Integrated Memory Controller

Offers stunning memory read/write performance through efficient prefetching algorithms, lower latency, and higher memory bandwidth.

Intel® Smart Cache

Dynamically allocates shared cache to each processor core, based on workload, reducing latency and improving performance.

Intel® Virtualization Technology

Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. Offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.

Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI)

A fast, secure AES engine for a variety of encryption apps, including whole disk encryption, file storage encryption, conditional access of HD content, internet security, and VoIP. Consumers benefit from protected internet and email content, plus fast, responsive disk encryption.

Intel® Power Optimizer & Processor C-States

Intel® Power Optimizer increases periods of silicon sleep state across the platform ingredients, including the CPU, chipset, and third-party system components, to reduce power

Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator (FIVR)

The voltage regulator is integrated into 5th generation Intel® Core™ processors, improving battery life and providing design-cost and space savings for OEMs. This integration also allows finer power control for efficiency.

Configurable TDP

With Configurable TDP, the processor is now capable of modulating the maximum sustained power vs. performance. Configurable TDP thus provides design and performance flexibility to control system performance based on the cooling capability and usage scenarios. For example, a detachable Ultrabook™ may need more performance when used in a full clamshell mode (vs. tablet mode), or when balanced performance is needed in a quiet conference room setting.

On-Package Cache Memory

Delivers higher bandwidth for graphics and memory-intensive applications, resulting in performance boosts on 5th Gen Intel® Core™ processors with Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics 6200 products. Up to 128MB of capacity supported.
