Core i5-4670S Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-4670S occupies a niche in the legacy desktop CPU space, representing a refined variant of Intel's fourth-generation Core lineup. Designed for efficiency and integrated graphics performance, it sits well below the current generation of high-end processors but still offers a balanced performance profile for light productivity and multimedia tasks. Its 22 nm process and FCLGA1150 socket place it firmly in the era of 2013–2014, a time when Intel was refining its Haswell architecture and pushing the boundaries of power efficiency in mainstream desktops.

The Core i5-4670S is built on the Haswell microarchitecture and features four cores with four threads, clocked at a base frequency of 3.1 GHz and capable of boosting to 3.8 GHz. With a 65 W TDP, it maintains a low-power footprint while delivering consistent performance across single-threaded and lightly threaded applications. It supports DDR3-1333/1600 memory across two channels, achieving a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s, which was competitive at the time of release but now shows its age compared to modern DDR4 and DDR5 standards.

Integrated into the processor is the HD Graphics 4600, featuring a base frequency of 350 MHz and a burst frequency of up to 1.2 GHz, capable of driving up to three displays simultaneously. While not suitable for modern gaming or professional graphics workloads, it remains adequate for basic multimedia, office applications, and light video playback. The GPU supports DirectX 11.1 and OpenGL 4.0, making it capable of running older games and utilities with acceptable performance.

The processor supports a range of Intel-specific features, including AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel VT-x for virtualization, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of software environments. It also includes Intel vPro technology for enterprise use, enabling remote management and security features. Despite its age, it remains stable and compatible with older motherboards and BIOS versions, making it a viable option for legacy system upgrades.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-4670S achieves an Overall Score of 5244, ranking #667 out of 2060 processors, with a Singlecore Score of 5538 (#525) and a Multicore Score of 4803 (#837). These results place it above many modern low-power mobile processors but significantly behind current desktop and server-grade CPUs. While its single-core performance is relatively strong, its multicore performance is constrained by its older architecture and lack of support for newer instruction sets. It competes with older models like the Core i5-4570R and Ryzen 5 3400G, both of which offer similar or slightly better performance, but it trails behind more recent CPUs such as the Core i5-8259U and Ryzen 5 3550H.

In conclusion, the Core i5-4670S is best suited for users maintaining older systems or engaging in basic computing tasks such as web browsing, office work, and media consumption. It is not recommended for modern gaming, content creation, or heavy multitasking, where its age and limited memory bandwidth become significant bottlenecks. As of 2026, it remains a reliable but dated option in the broader CPU landscape, serving as a reminder of Intel's evolution in the past decade.
