Intel Core i5-3470 Desktop Processor — 6M Cache | Up to 3.60 GHz | LGA1155 | 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge | 77W TDP | Pulled | 1-Year Warranty

The pulled Intel Core i5-3470 is built for budget-conscious home users, students, small offices, and IT administrators deploying affordable LGA1155 3rd Gen desktop systems for everyday productivity, document and spreadsheet work, web browsing, email, video streaming, and light gaming or multimedia use. It is well-suited for refurbished PC builds, home and office upgrades, educational institutions, entry-level gaming systems with a discrete GPU, home media centre PCs, and cost-efficient workstation deployments where reliable Ivy Bridge quad-core performance with Turbo Boost at a minimal investment is the priority.

The Core i5-3470 features 4 physical cores and 4 threads with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, dynamically boosting from 3.20GHz base up to 3.60GHz on single or dual cores, 3.50GHz on three cores, and 3.40GHz across all four cores simultaneously — delivering intelligent, demand-driven frequency scaling for responsive single-threaded and multi-threaded everyday workloads. The 22nm Ivy Bridge process delivers improved per-clock efficiency and performance over the previous Sandy Bridge generation, running at a more efficient 77W TDP versus the i5-2500's 95W while achieving comparable or better overall performance. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500 with 6 Execution Units and up to 1.10GHz dynamic frequency supports dual-display output for everyday desktop and standard multimedia use without a discrete GPU, with hardware-accelerated Intel Quick Sync Video, Intel InTru 3D, and Intel Clear Video HD Technology. The 6MB L3 Smart Cache shared across all four cores enables faster data access during multitasking, content playback, and compute-intensive tasks. DDR3-1333/1600 dual-channel memory support up to 32GB at 25.6 GB/s maximum bandwidth ensures broad compatibility with widely available low-cost DDR3 memory. Intel AES-NI hardware encryption acceleration, VT-x, VT-x with EPT, and Execute Disable Bit support security-sensitive and lightweight virtualisation deployments. PCIe 3.0 x16 supports discrete GPU installation for enhanced gaming and multimedia performance. Each pulled unit has been individually cleaned and tested for full operational functionality before dispatch.
