Core i5-3470T Details

Released in June 2012, the Intel Core i5-3470T is a desktop processor that represents an evolution in efficiency and integrated graphics performance within Intel's Ivy Bridge lineup. While it may seem outdated by modern standards, its 22 nm manufacturing process and dual-core design with Hyper-Threading were competitive at the time, offering a balance of performance and low power consumption. The processor is built on the Ivy Bridge architecture and uses the FCLGA1155 socket, making it compatible with a wide range of motherboards from that era. With a base clock of 2.9 GHz and a turbo frequency of up to 3.6 GHz, the i5-3470T delivers strong single-threaded performance, which is particularly useful for legacy applications and light multitasking.

The Core i5-3470T features 2 physical cores with 4 threads thanks to Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, allowing it to handle multiple workloads efficiently. It includes 3 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR3-1333/1600 memory via a dual-channel interface, enabling a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The processor operates at a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 W, making it suitable for low-power desktops and small form-factor systems where energy efficiency is a priority. It supports PCIe 3.0 with up to 16 lanes, ensuring compatibility with modern peripherals and expansion cards.

Integrated graphics are provided by the Intel HD 2500, which runs at a base frequency of 650 MHz and can boost up to 1100 MHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and is capable of handling basic multimedia tasks and light gaming, though it is not suitable for modern high-end applications. The processor also includes support for a range of advanced technologies, including AES-NI for encryption, AVX and AVX2 for vectorized operations, and Intel VT-x and VT-d for virtualization. Additionally, it supports features like Intel SpeedStep (EIST) for dynamic clock adjustment and TXT for secure execution environments.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-3470T achieves an Overall Score of 4776, placing it at #1040 out of 2060 processors. Its Singlecore Score of 4964 ranks it at #959, indicating strong performance in single-threaded workloads, which is particularly relevant for older software and productivity applications. The Multicore Score of 4494 places it at #1236, showing that while it can handle multi-threaded tasks, it is outpaced by more recent quad-core and higher-thread-count processors. The processor is slightly faster than the Core i5-4200H in multicore performance but slower than the Core i5-7200U in single-core performance.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-3470T is best suited for legacy systems, budget desktops, or light office use where integrated graphics and low power consumption are more important than raw performance. While it is no longer competitive with modern CPUs, its low TDP and support for key technologies make it a viable option in environments where system longevity and power efficiency are priorities.
