Third-generation Core i5 desktop processor
This Intel Core i5-3570K is a quad-core desktop processor running at 3.40 GHz with 6 MB of L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache. It uses the LGA-1155 socket and is built on 22 nm process technology. The processor supports 64-bit computing and features a Direct Media Interface of 5 GT/s. It is supplied in OEM packaging without a retail cooler.
Upgraders with LGA-1155 motherboards
This processor suits owners of existing LGA-1155 systems who want a higher-clocked quad-core chip with an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. It is not for builders starting a new platform, buyers who require newer socket standards, or anyone needing instruction-set extensions introduced after this architecture.
Unlocked multiplier for overclocking
The defining specification is the unlocked multiplier indicated by the K suffix, which allows enthusiast overclocking on compatible LGA-1155 chipsets. Without a Z-series board this headroom cannot be used, making the multiplier the single detail that decides whether this is the right part for the build.
