The Intel Core i5-680 is the processor which smartly adjusts to increase power requirement. It can also keep pace with complex applications - such as games or image editing. And thanks to the Intel Turbo Boost Technology, the processor automatically over-clocks with high load to 2x 3.86 GHz instead of 2 x 3.6 GHz. In addition, a graphic card unit is integrated in this CPU, which unfolds the full power in combination with a 1156 base motherboard with Intel H55 or H57 chip set. Thus you also benefit from fast DDR3 memory because the core i5 supports dual channels each with 1333 MHz.
The new Intel Core i5 processor is a breakthrough for the PC performance, because with its speed, the intelligent multi-core technology provides the processing power there, where it is needed most. This processor makes multitasking during games and applications faster due to intensive thread programming and unleashes fascinating possibilities for multimedia operations. The integrated DDR3 memory controller supports dual channel operation.
