Core i5-2450P Details

Built on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process, the Core i5-2450P represents a mid-range processor from the early 2010s, designed for desktop use with integrated graphics. Released during a period of significant transition in Intel’s architecture lineup, this CPU reflects the company's focus on balancing performance and power efficiency in mainstream systems. As of March 2026, the Core i5-2450P is considered an older device, having been superseded by multiple generations of more advanced processors. Despite its age, it remains relevant in legacy systems and for users seeking a reliable, low-cost solution for basic computing tasks.

The processor is built on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and features four cores and four threads, operating at a base frequency of 3.2 GHz with a turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz. It supports a 5 GT/s bus speed and utilizes the LGA1155 socket, making it compatible with a range of older motherboards. With a TDP of 95 W, it delivers moderate power consumption suitable for standard desktop environments. The integrated UHD Graphics 620 GPU supports up to three displays and operates at a base frequency of 300 MHz with a burst frequency of 1 GHz, offering basic graphical capabilities without requiring a discrete GPU.

Memory support includes DDR3 1066/1333, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB across two channels, and a peak memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s. The cache hierarchy consists of 32 KB of L1 cache per core, 256 KB of L2 cache per core, and a shared 6 MB L3 cache. The processor supports a variety of Intel-specific technologies, including AVX2, SSE4.1 and SSE4.2, AES encryption, and Intel’s Hyper-Threading, enabling efficient multitasking and improved performance in compute-intensive applications.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-2450P achieves an Overall Score of 4737, placing it at #1073 among 2060 processors. Its Singlecore Score is 4849, ranking #1039, while its Multicore Score is 4568, placing it at #1136. These results indicate that the CPU is more competitive in single-threaded workloads than in multi-threaded performance. It outperforms several modern processors such as the Core i3-4350 and Ryzen Embedded R1606G, but is significantly slower than high-end CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K.

When compared to its peers, the Core i5-2450P holds a moderate position, offering decent performance for everyday computing, light content creation, and entry-level gaming. However, its limitations in modern memory bandwidth and lack of support for newer instruction sets like AVX-512 make it less suitable for demanding workloads. For users upgrading older systems or working within budget constraints, the i5-2450P remains a viable option, particularly when paired with a discrete GPU to compensate for its modest integrated graphics capabilities.
