Intel Core i5-8500T Desktop Processor — 9M Cache | Up to 3.50 GHz | LGA1151 | 8th Gen Coffee Lake | 35W TDP | Pulled | 1-Year Warranty

The pulled Intel Core i5-8500T is built for compact system builders, SFF and Mini-ITX PC enthusiasts, HTPC builders, always-on home and office users, and IT administrators deploying thermally constrained or passively cooled LGA1151 v2 desktop systems where power efficiency, quiet operation, and capable 6-core performance are equally important. At just 35W TDP with 6 physical cores, it is a particularly compelling choice for mini-ITX builds, 4K home theatre PCs, small corporate deployments, rack-mounted workstations, retail terminals, quiet home office setups, and compact server applications where the combination of 6-core throughput and ultra-low power draw is rare and valuable.

The Core i5-8500T is a significant generational leap over the i5-7500T — adding 2 extra physical cores (6 vs 4) and 3MB more L3 cache (9MB vs 6MB) while maintaining the same 35W TDP, making it one of the most thermally efficient 6-core desktop processors ever released. The 14nm++ Coffee Lake process delivers improved per-watt efficiency and higher core count over Kaby Lake without increasing power draw. Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 boosts from 2.10GHz base up to 3.50GHz on a single core and 3.00GHz across multiple cores under sustained load — intelligently scaling performance with demand while staying within the 35W envelope. A configurable TDP-down of 25W at 1.60GHz base enables deployment in fanless, passively cooled, or extremely thermally constrained chassis. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 with 24 Execution Units and up to 1.10GHz dynamic frequency supports full 4K@60Hz via DisplayPort and eDP, 4K@24Hz via HDMI, DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, and hardware H.265/HEVC encode and decode for smooth 4K streaming and playback — making it outstanding for HTPC and compact multimedia builds. DDR4-2666 dual-channel support up to 128GB at 42.7 GB/s delivers the highest memory capacity and bandwidth of any i5 T-series processor in this lineup. Intel AES-NI, VT-x, VT-d, VT-x with EPT, Intel SGX, Intel MPX, Intel Boot Guard, Intel OS Guard, Intel Secure Key, Intel TSX-NI, Intel vPro, Intel SIPP, and Execute Disable Bit provide comprehensive enterprise-grade security and virtualisation support. PCIe 3.0 x16 accommodates discrete GPU and NVMe SSD expansion. Each pulled unit has been individually cleaned and tested for full operational functionality before dispatch.

System Requirements: Compatible with LGA1151 v2 socket motherboards on Intel 300 Series chipsets only (H310, B360, H370, Z370, Z390) — NOT compatible with 100 Series or 200 Series chipsets used by 6th and 7th Gen processors; DDR4 memory required (DDR3L not supported on 300 Series); BIOS update may be required on some 300 Series boards; multiplier is locked — overclocking not supported; cTDP-down to 25W supported via BIOS on compatible platforms; bundled cooler may or may not be included — verify before purchase; at 35W TDP, the stock boxed cooler or a low-profile cooler is more than sufficient

Setup: Standard LGA1151 v2 socket installation; Turbo Boost activates automatically under load; cTDP configurable to 25W for fanless or passively cooled builds; Intel UHD Graphics 630 drives up to 3 displays including 4K@60Hz via DisplayPort; thermal paste application recommended if bundled cooler is not included; critical — LGA1151 v2 (300 Series) is physically identical but electrically incompatible with LGA1151 v1 (100/200 Series) — always verify 300 Series chipset compatibility before purchase

Mounting Options: Standard LGA1151 v2 socket; ideal for mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, and ATX motherboards with LGA1151 300 Series socket; 35W TDP compatible with slim, low-profile, and quiet coolers for compact SFF builds

Usage Environment: Ideal for compact SFF and Mini-ITX desktop builds, 4K HTPC home theatre systems, always-on home and office desktops, quiet workstations, small corporate deployments, rack-mounted compact systems, and cost-efficient low-power 8th Gen Intel Coffee Lake platform builds
