SKU CH-B8AV-4CNFK MPN i5-8500Product

Hexa-core desktop processor running at 3 GHz with 9 MB L3 cache, UHD Graphics 630 supporting three monitors, and 65 W TDP

  • Six cores at 3 GHz handle multitasking smoothly
  • Turbo Boost up to 4.10 GHz speeds demanding tasks
  • UHD Graphics 630 drives three displays without a card
  • 14 nm process keeps power draw to 65 W
  • LGA-1151 socket fits existing compatible motherboards

Socket H4 LGA-1151 Processor

This Intel Core i5-8500 desktop processor fits Socket H4 LGA-1151 motherboards. It delivers six cores running at a 3 GHz base frequency with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 raising speeds up to 4.10 GHz. The 14 nm design includes 9 MB of L3 cache and 1.50 MB of L2 cache for responsive multitasking.

Integrated Graphics for Multi-Display Setups

The chip includes Intel UHD Graphics 630 supporting up to three monitors simultaneously. This suits office workstations, home PCs and media builds that need 4K playback without a discrete graphics card. Buyers who require high frame-rate gaming or GPU compute workloads should consider a separate graphics solution.

65 W Thermal Design Power

The processor carries a 65 W TDP with a maximum junction temperature of 100°C (212°F). This power envelope fits standard desktop coolers and compact chassis airflow. System builders must ensure their cooling and power delivery can sustain this thermal load under full Turbo operation.
