Intel Core i5-8500 Desktop Processor — 9M Cache | Up to 4.10 GHz | LGA1151 | 8th Gen Coffee Lake | 65W TDP | Pulled | 1-Year Warranty

The pulled Intel Core i5-8500 is built for home users, business professionals, gamers, content creators, and IT administrators deploying affordable LGA1151 v2 8th Gen desktop systems requiring reliable 6-core performance alongside the full Intel vPro management ecosystem, TXT trusted execution, SIPP commercial stability, and Intel TSX-NI transactional memory extensions. It is well-suited for refurbished business PC builds, corporate managed desktop deployments, home and office upgrades, gaming rigs with a discrete GPU, and cost-efficient workstation builds where the i5-8500's higher base clock, higher iGPU frequency, and richer enterprise feature set over the i5-8400 justify the step up.

The Core i5-8500 steps above the i5-8400 with a higher 3.00 GHz base frequency (vs 2.80 GHz), higher 4.10 GHz single-core turbo (vs 4.00 GHz), and a higher 1.10 GHz integrated UHD Graphics 630 max dynamic frequency (vs 1.05 GHz) — alongside Intel TSX-NI transactional synchronisation extensions, Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), Intel SIPP (Stable IT Platform Program) for commercial lifecycle stability, and full Intel vPro Platform eligibility — making it the step-up choice in the 8th Gen i5 LGA1151 v2 pulled lineup for users who benefit from these additional enterprise features. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 with 4K@60Hz via DisplayPort and eDP, DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, and Intel Quick Sync Video provides capable display output without a discrete GPU. DDR4-2666 dual-channel support up to 128GB. PCIe 3.0 x16 for discrete GPU expansion. Intel Optane Memory support on compatible platforms. Each pulled unit has been individually cleaned and tested for full operational functionality before dispatch.
