Core i5-3335S Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-3335S remains a relic of the early Ivy Bridge era, having been released in November 2012. Despite its age, it holds a notable position in the broader performance hierarchy, demonstrating that even older processors can still deliver respectable results in certain contexts. The Core i5-3335S is a desktop-grade CPU with a 22 nm manufacturing process, built on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture, and designed for Socket 1155 systems. It features four cores and four threads, with no simultaneous multithreading support, and a base clock of 2.7 GHz, boosting up to 3.2 GHz under load. With a 65 W TDP, it maintains efficient power consumption, making it suitable for mid-range desktops of its time.

The processor includes 6 MB of L3 cache, 61 MiB of L1 cache, and 244 MiB of L2 cache, which help support its performance in multi-threaded applications. It supports dual-channel DDR3 memory and uses a PCIe 3.0 interface with 16 lanes directly from the CPU, ensuring compatibility with modern peripherals of its generation. Intel's integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics solution provides basic display output, supporting up to three monitors, though it is not suited for modern gaming or heavy graphical workloads.

The Core i5-3335S supports a wide range of instruction sets, including AVX, AVX2, AES-NI, and FMA3, which improve performance in computational tasks. It also features hardware virtualization via VT-x and VT-d, enabling efficient virtual machine operation. However, its locked multiplier limits overclocking potential, which may deter enthusiasts. Despite its age, the CPU's overall score of 4565 ranks it at #1221 of 2060 in the Passmark database, placing it just behind processors like the Core i5 M 450 and Ryzen 3 3250U.

In single-core performance, the Core i5-3335S scores 4609, ranking #1210, slightly behind the Core i5-3470S and Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U, but ahead of older chips like the Core i7-7660U. Its multicore score of 4498 places it at #1227, trailing the Xeon E3-1220 and Core i7-7Y75, but outperforming the Core i7-870 and Core i7-5500U. These results indicate that while the i5-3335S is no longer competitive in modern high-performance environments, it still holds its own in legacy systems or for light computing tasks.

Given its age and modest performance by today’s standards, the Core i5-3335S is best suited for budget builds, office computing, or systems where integrated graphics and low power consumption are priorities. It represents a solid mid-tier processor from its era, but its relevance has diminished significantly in the current landscape dominated by multi-core processors with much higher clock speeds and advanced architectures.
