Core i5-3570K Details

For users seeking a capable, budget-friendly CPU with integrated graphics for light gaming and everyday productivity, the Intel Core i5-3570K remains a notable option despite its age. Released in 2013, this processor is now over a decade old, placing it well outside the current mainstream market. However, its continued presence in benchmark databases highlights its historical significance and enduring performance in certain workloads. Built on Intel’s 22 nm process and based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture, the i5-3570K offers a solid foundation for users who prioritize cost-effective performance without the need for modern features like DDR4 support or PCIe 4.0.

The Core i5-3570K features four cores and four threads, with a base clock speed of 3.4 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.8 GHz, allowing it to handle a wide range of tasks efficiently. It supports up to 32 GB of DDR3 1333/1600 memory across two channels, with a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The processor operates at a TDP of 77 W, making it suitable for standard desktop cooling solutions. It uses the FCLGA1155 socket, which was widely adopted during its era and remains compatible with many older motherboards.

Integrated into the CPU is the Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU, which operates at a base frequency of 650 MHz and can boost to 1.15 GHz. This graphics solution supports up to three displays and includes hardware decoding for modern video formats, enabling basic multimedia playback and light gaming. While not powerful by today's standards, the HD Graphics 4000 can handle casual games at lower resolutions and settings, making the i5-3570K a viable choice for users who do not require a discrete graphics card.

The processor supports a range of Intel technologies, including AES-NI for encryption, Intel VT-x and VT-d for virtualization, and EIST for power efficiency. It also includes features like Hyper-Threading, though this is not applicable here due to the lack of simultaneous multithreading in the i5-3570K. Despite its age, the i5-3570K delivers respectable performance in both single-threaded and multi-threaded applications. In Passmark benchmarks, it scores 5095 in single-core, 4644 in number crunching, and 4631 in physics compute, placing it firmly in the mid-tier of its generation.

In overall performance, the Core i5-3570K achieves a Passmark score of 4964, ranking #901 out of 2060 processors. It outperforms many modern budget processors, such as the Core i3-8100T and Atom C3758, but falls short of current mid-range offerings. Its multicore score of 4767 ranks it #889, indicating strong multi-threaded capabilities for its time. While it is significantly outpaced by today’s top-tier CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K, the i5-3570K remains a reliable choice for legacy systems, retro builds, or as a budget upgrade in older desktops. As of March 2026, it is best suited for users who value affordability and compatibility over cutting-edge performance.
