Overview
SummaryThe Intel Core i5-3570 is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Ivy Bridge architecture (22 nm process). It launched in Jun 2012.

Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Core i5-3570 scores 2,039 in single-core performance and 4,927 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,170 for overall performance, 6,057 for productivity performance, 6,380 for creator performance, 4,742 for engineering performance and 7,349 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,232 per core, 1,232 per thread and 64 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 361. Its performance index is 39, so its overall performance is 61% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-3570 scores 15,640 in integer math, 11,472 in floating-point math, 77,262 in compression, 1,260 in cryptography, 390 in physics simulation, 3,760 in vector SIMD, 30 in the prime sieve and 9,468 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 73% below in integer math, 75% below in floating-point math, 66% below in compression, 89% below in cryptography, 64% below in physics simulation, 76% below in vector SIMD, 55% below in the prime sieve and 58% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
Core Configuration
7 specsThe Intel Core i5-3570 has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts up to 3.80 GHz.
