Review: Keeps getting better! - Before I owned this processor, I had an dual-core E8400 for mostly gaming but it began to bottleneck my system. That processor was an amazing one for its time but I quickly realized how slow it was compared to an i5 2500. I installed this puppy with no hassles and was quickly up and running. While not an i7, it's still very quick and it's all you'll need now for gaming or other processor heavy programs. Four cores is plenty for modern day programs, which was the reason I went with this quad-core instead of a six or eight core. Even when under heavy usage, this processor continues to remain at very low percent usage. Overall, this processor runs great and I've never had problems with it after owning it for a year now. Intel's done an amazing job on this one, especially for the price point! Also note that if your not an overclocker, there's no need to go with the 2500K version. Save you money and go with the normal 2500. Review: Good upgrade for my multitasking needs. - I upgraded from an i3 2120. I do a lot of multitasking, simultaneously running spreadsheets, CAD, at least 2 different browsers with 20 tabs opened, listening to Spotify and playing Hearthstone all at the same time on a dual monitor setup.I noticed my spreadsheets were crashing a lot after asking it do complex conditional formatting calculations. After installing the i5 my spreadsheets don't crash anymore, my the system is running quicker but it's noticeably smoother than outright faster. I also noted that the SSD speeds are up to 260/200 now, whereas with the i3 I was getting around 160/100. I put this down to having 4 cores instead of 2. Yes overall I am quite happy with the purchase, I have no complaints, I think maybe I should have gone all out and bought an i7 CPU, but these are still 2-3 times more expensive than an i5. Installing was super easy, although I did have to upgrade my CPU fan to one that could cool temps of 95W up from 65W. The actual CPU was used but in very good condition, I've had no problems with it. ## Features - Maximize speed for demanding applications with Intel Turbo Boost technology, which accelerates processor clock speed up to 20% to match your workload. So you'll move faster when multitasking and get more accomplished in less time. - With the Intel Core i5 processor, you can multitask up to 28% faster, so you can do more things at once and be more productive than ever. - Get a 32% improvement in artificial intelligence for game characters and realistic physics for game worlds. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004FA8NNW | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,518 in Computer CPU Processors | | Brand | Intel | | CPU Manufacturer | Intel | | CPU Model | Core i5 | | CPU Socket | LGA 1155 | | CPU Speed | 3.3 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 6 | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 180 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00735858217729, 05032037011921 | | Item Part Number | BX80623I52500 | | Item Weight | 0.37 Grams | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Mfr Part Number | BX80623I52500 | | Model Number | BX80623I52500 | | Platform | Windows | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Processor Core Count | 4 | | Processor Count | 4 | | Processor Series | Core i5 | | Processor Socket | LGA 1155 | | Processor Speed | 3.3 GHz | | Secondary Cache | 6 MB | | UPC | 778888443751 777787400025 735858217729 735858234870 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Three year limited warranty | | Wattage | 95 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU Manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU Model:** Core i5 - **CPU Speed:** 3.3 GHz - **CPU Socket:** LGA 1155 ## Images ![Intel I5-2500 Processor 3.3GHz BX80623I52500 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91IDGQ7c1UL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this fit in a dell optiplex 390 sff?** A: you need to check with Dell to find out what processor will fit that motherboard. **Q: Can I use it for hard gaming** A: depends what you mean for "hard gaming" I played Dark Souls 3 and Doom with this and no problems but Resident Evil 7 needs a little more. **Q: Is this third or forth gen** A: no this is second gen 3000 and 4000 are 3rd and 4th generations of intel **Q: Should i buy this over an i3 8350k 4 ghz** A: NO NO NO ., This is a 2nd gen CPU that fits a LGA1155 motherboard . 8350K is 8th gen CPU ( 8XXX) for 300 series motherboards .

It is installed in a computer with 8GB of RAM used for typical business applications running simultaneously and occasional audio/visual processing. So far, no complaints. Windows 7 (64 bit) boots quickly and CPU utilization overall remains low most of the time even under moderate multitasking load. Some reviews mention the inadequacy of the heatsink/fan included, but mine hums along just fine at about 30 degrees (Celcius). Be aware that there is a known defect in Intel's supporting chipsets (P67, H67) that will require certain motherboards to be replaced mid-2011 when the updated chipsets become available, so do your research before purchasing. The defect is not in the CPU itself. A comment for those of you ordering from other suppliers using their free shipping options who are used to receiving the product(s) in the next day or so anyway...I ordered this CPU on 1/17/2011 using Amazon's free shipping option and it was delivered on 1/25/11. (This is not a complaint--I understood the level of service--just a "heads up" to those of you who might presume faster delivery based on experiences with other vendors.) ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i5-2500 Quad-Core Processor 3.3 GHz 6 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80623I52500 - Thermaltake Gravity i2 95W Intel LGA 1200/1156/1155/1150/1151 92mm CPU Cooler CLP0556-D, Compatible with Desktop - TEAMGROUP Elite DDR3 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1600MHz (PC3-12800) CL11 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.5V UDIMM 240 Pin PC Computer Desktop Memory Module Ram Upgrade - TED316G1600C11DC01 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4820986-intel-i5-2500-processor-3-3ghz-bx80623i52500](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4820986-intel-i5-2500-processor-3-3ghz-bx80623i52500) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
