Intel® Core™ i5-650

The Intel Core i5-650 is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 4 threads (32 nm process). It launched in Jan 2010. Clocks run from 3.2 GHz base to 3.46 GHz boost. A 4-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). The chip drops into the FCLGA1156 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 73 W.

The Intel Core i5-650 scores 1,350 in single-core performance and 2,260 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,747 for overall performance, 3,359 for productivity performance, 3,673 for creator performance, 2,105 for engineering performance and 4,615 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,130 per core, 565 per thread and 31 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 204. Its performance index is 22, so its overall performance is 78% 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 i5-650 scores 8,639 in integer math, 3,727 in floating-point math, 35,993 in compression, 838 in cryptography, 194 in physics simulation, 1,053 in vector SIMD, 10 in the prime sieve and 4,763 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 85% below in integer math, 92% below in floating-point math, 84% below in compression, 93% below in cryptography, 82% below in physics simulation, 93% below in vector SIMD, 85% below in the prime sieve and 79% 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 i5-650 has 2 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.20 GHz and boosts up to 3.46 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-650 is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i5 family and is manufactured on a 32 nm process. It launched in Jan 2010.

The Intel Core i5-650 has 128 KB of L1 cache, 512 KB of L2 cache and 4 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 4.6 MB of cache, or 2.31 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i5-650 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 128 KB, L2 at 512 KB and L3 at 4 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 86% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i5-650 includes integrated graphics (HD Graphics) and clocks the graphics up to 0.73 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-650 uses the FCLGA1156 socket, supports PCI Express 2.0 and provides up to 16 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Core i5-650 has a rated TDP of 73 W.
