Core i5-750 Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-750 remains a relic of the early 2010s, a processor that once defined mainstream desktop computing but now sits well outside the performance hierarchy. Launched in September 2009, this Lynnfield-based CPU was designed for the LGA1156 platform and represented a significant step forward in Intel's Core i5 lineup at the time, offering a blend of performance and affordability. With a 45 nm manufacturing process and a die area of 296 mm², the i5-750 was built with 774 million transistors and operated at a base frequency of 2.66 GHz, capable of boosting to 3.2 GHz under load. Despite its age, it still holds relevance for enthusiasts or users maintaining legacy systems.

The Core i5-750 features four cores and four threads, with no support for simultaneous multithreading, and operates at a TDP of 95 W, requiring adequate cooling to sustain performance. It supports dual-channel DDR3 memory at 1066/1333 MHz, with a maximum capacity of 16 GB and a memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s. The processor includes 8 MB of L3 cache, 61 KiB of L1 cache, and 244 KiB of L2 cache, helping to maintain efficient data access. It uses the PCIe 2.0 interface, with a total of 16 lanes available directly from the CPU, and supports a range of advanced features including AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel's virtualization technologies such as VT-x and VT-d.

In terms of performance, the Core i5-750 achieves an overall Passmark score of 4473, ranking #1315 out of 2060 processors in the database. Its single-core score of 4465 places it at #1323, while its multicore score of 4485 ranks it #1256. These results indicate that the i5-750 holds its own against some modern low-end CPUs but is significantly outpaced by contemporary processors. For example, it ranks below the Intel Core i3-8130U and the Xeon E5620 in multicore performance, yet outperforms older dual-core processors like the Core i5-4200H. The performance gap to top-tier processors is stark—only about 4% of the leading CPUs in the top 50 overall list outperform it, and it falls far behind even mid-range modern processors like the Ryzen 9 9950X3D or the Core Ultra 9 285K.

Notably, the Core i5-750 lacks integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU for visual output. This design choice, while common for its time, limits its appeal in modern systems where integrated graphics are often sufficient for light workloads. The processor does support hardware virtualization, which benefits users running virtual machines, and includes features like Intel vPro, EIST, and TXT for enhanced security and power management. However, with a locked multiplier, overclocking potential is limited, restricting its appeal to enthusiasts.

In conclusion, the Intel Core i5-750 is best suited for legacy systems, retro builds, or light office tasks. While it was a capable mid-range CPU in its era, its age and lack of modern features make it unsuitable for demanding workloads or gaming. For users seeking modern performance, even entry-level current-generation processors offer substantially greater capabilities. The i5-750 serves as a reminder of how far desktop computing has advanced in the past 15 years.
