Intel Core i5-2500S Desktop Processor — 6M Cache | Up to 3.70 GHz | LGA1155 | 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge | 65W TDP | Pulled | 1-Year Warranty

The pulled Intel Core i5-2500S is built for budget-conscious home users, small offices, IT administrators, and system builders deploying affordable LGA1155 2nd Gen desktop systems for everyday productivity, document work, web browsing, email, multimedia streaming, and light computing. It is well-suited for refurbished PC builds, compact all-in-one system upgrades, energy-efficient office workstations, educational institutions, call centre deployments, and any environment requiring reliable Sandy Bridge quad-core performance with enterprise vPro support at minimal cost.

The Core i5-2500S features 4 physical cores and 4 threads without Hyper-Threading, with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 dynamically raising clock speeds from the 2.70 GHz base up to 3.70 GHz on demand — matching the i5-2500's peak single-core turbo frequency — delivering responsive burst performance for gaming, productivity, and media workloads. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 with up to 1.10 GHz dynamic frequency (850 MHz base) supports dual-display output and hardware-accelerated Intel Quick Sync Video, Intel InTru 3D, and Intel Clear Video HD for smooth multimedia playback without a discrete GPU. The 6MB L3 Smart Cache shared across all four cores enables faster data access during multitasking and compute-intensive workloads. DDR3-1333 dual-channel memory support up to 32GB at 21 GB/s maximum bandwidth. Intel AES-NI, VT-x, VT-d, VT-x with EPT, and TXT provide comprehensive enterprise-grade security and virtualisation — including Intel vPro Platform eligibility for corporate management tools. PCIe 2.0 x16 supports discrete GPU installation. Each pulled unit has been individually cleaned and tested for full operational functionality before dispatch.
