Core i5-3570S Details

The Intel Core i5-3570S represents a refined evolution of the Ivy Bridge architecture, offering a balance of performance and efficiency that made it a popular choice for mainstream desktop builds in the early 2010s. Released in June 2012, this processor is now over a decade old, placing it firmly in the category of legacy hardware. Despite its age, the Core i5-3570S remains notable for its integration of advanced features for its time, including support for AVX and AES-NI, alongside robust virtualization capabilities. Its 65 W TDP makes it a power-efficient option, particularly when compared to higher-end desktop processors of the same era.

Built on a 22 nm process, the Core i5-3570S features four cores and four threads, operating at a base frequency of 3.1 GHz with a turbo boost up to 3.8 GHz. This clock speed, combined with a 31x multiplier, enables strong single-threaded performance, which is reflected in its single-core score of 4809—placing it at #1068 among 2060 CPUs in the benchmark database. The processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface and is compatible with Socket 1155, a widely adopted platform during the Ivy Bridge era.

The Core i5-3570S includes Intel HD 2500 integrated graphics, which, while not powerful by modern standards, was sufficient for basic multimedia tasks and light gaming at the time. It supports up to three displays and includes hardware virtualization features such as VT-x and VT-d, making it suitable for virtualization workloads. Cache-wise, it boasts 6 MB of L3 cache, complemented by 0.061 MiB of L1 and 0.244 MiB of L2 cache, contributing to its efficient data handling.

In terms of benchmark performance, the Core i5-3570S achieves an overall score of 4690, ranking #1113 out of 2060 processors, and a multicore score of 4511, placing it at #1205. These results highlight that while the processor delivers solid single-core performance, its multicore capabilities are more modest, particularly when compared to modern multi-core processors. Its performance is comparable to mid-range desktop CPUs from the same generation, such as the Core i5-3380M and A10-5800B, but trails behind higher-end offerings like the Xeon W3690 and Xeon E5-2650 v2.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-3570S is best suited for legacy systems, light office use, or as a budget-friendly upgrade for older machines. Its strengths lie in its single-threaded performance and power efficiency, but its age limits its relevance in modern computing environments. For users seeking a modern experience, newer processors from Intel and AMD offer significantly greater performance and feature sets, but the Core i5-3570S remains a testament to Intel’s engineering in the Ivy Bridge era.
