Archive Description

The Original. The i5-750 was the very first desktop Core i5. It established the rule that would hold for a decade: i5 means four cores, no Hyper-Threading.

It was a phenomenal overclocker. Many users pushed this 2.66 GHz chip to 4.0 GHz on air cooling, getting i7 performance for half the price. A true legend of the LGA 1156 era, and the chip that convinced many gamers to finally ditch their Core 2 Duos.
