Core i5-670 Details

Built on Intel's Clarkdale microarchitecture at a 32 nm process node, the Core i5-670 is a desktop processor that was released in January 2010. As of March 2026, it is a nearly 16-year-old CPU, reflecting its position as a legacy component in today's computing landscape. Designed for Socket 1156 platforms, the Core i5-670 features a dual-core design with four threads enabled via Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, making it a notable mid-range option from its era. The processor operates at a base frequency of 3.466 GHz and can boost up to 3.733 GHz under load, supported by 4 MB of L3 cache and a 73 W TDP, offering a balanced power-performance profile for its time.

The Core i5-670 integrates Intel HD Graphics, which, while not competitive with modern discrete GPUs, was sufficient for basic multimedia and light gaming in its day. It supports DDR3 memory at up to 1333 MT/s over a dual-channel interface and communicates with the rest of the system via PCI Express 2.0 on 16 lanes. The chip contains 382 million transistors and is packaged in a FC-LGA10 socket, which was common across Intel's mainstream desktop lineup during that generation.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-670 achieves an Overall Score of 4452, placing it at #1332 among 2060 CPUs. Its Singlecore Score is 4486, ranking it #1300, while its Multicore Score is 4401, ranking #1448. These results indicate that the processor performs similarly to other mid-tier CPUs from the late 2000s and early 2010s, such as the Intel Core i5-460M and AMD Phenom II X3 B73. Notably, its single-core performance is slightly stronger than its multicore capabilities, suggesting it is better suited for applications that rely heavily on per-core speed rather than parallel workloads.

The Core i5-670 supports a range of instruction sets including SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, and SSE4.2, as well as virtualization technologies like VT-x and VT-d, which enhance its utility in virtual machine environments. While it lacks ECC memory support, its locked multiplier limits overclocking potential, making it less appealing to enthusiasts. The processor’s integrated graphics and virtualization features, combined with its dual-core hyper-threaded design, make it suitable for light office work, media consumption, and legacy software applications.

As of 2026, the Core i5-670 is best suited for retro computing, educational demonstrations, or systems where modern performance is not required. Its benchmark scores place it well below current top-tier processors like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX or Core Ultra 9 285K, which achieve over 9,000 points in overall performance. However, for users maintaining older systems or seeking a cost-effective upgrade path, the Core i5-670 remains a historically significant and functional processor from Intel’s early Core i5 lineup.
