Intel® Core™ i5-3570K

The Intel Core i5-3570K is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Ivy Bridge architecture (22 nm process). It launched in Apr 2012. Clocks run from 3.4 GHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It uses the FCLGA1155 socket. Rated TDP is 77 W.

The Intel Core i5-3570K scores 2,044 in single-core performance and 4,968 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,187 for overall performance, 6,091 for productivity performance, 6,412 for creator performance, 4,782 for engineering performance and 7,374 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,242 per core, 1,242 per thread and 65 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 363. 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.

Scores 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 i5-3570K scores 15,736 in integer math, 11,505 in floating-point math, 77,649 in compression, 1,266 in cryptography, 406 in physics simulation, 3,776 in vector SIMD, 30 in the prime sieve and 9,547 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, 63% 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.

The Intel Core i5-3570K 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.

The Intel Core i5-3570K is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i5 family, uses the Ivy Bridge architecture, carries the codename Ivy Bridge and is manufactured on a 22 nm process. It launched in Apr 2012.

The Intel Core i5-3570K has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 7.3 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i5-3570K has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 6 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i5-3570K includes integrated graphics (HD 4000) and clocks the graphics up to 1.15 GHz.
