Core i5 760 Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i5-760 occupies a niche position in the broader CPU landscape, representing an older generation of desktop processors that once balanced performance and power efficiency in mainstream systems. Designed by Intel and released during the early days of the Sandy Bridge era, this processor is built on a 45 nm process and features a 64-bit architecture with a LGA1156 socket. Despite its age, the Core i5-760 remains relevant for users maintaining legacy systems or seeking a low-cost upgrade path. Its 4-core, 4-thread configuration, paired with a base clock of 2.8 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.33 GHz, delivers solid single-threaded performance while maintaining moderate power consumption at 95 W TDP.

The processor supports DDR3 1066/1333 memory across two channels, with a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB and a peak bandwidth of 21 GB/s. Integrated into the CPU is the Intel HD Graphics 3000, which operates at a base frequency of 850 MHz and can burst up to 1100 MHz, supporting up to two displays. While not suited for modern gaming or high-resolution content creation, the GPU enables basic multimedia tasks and light graphical workloads. The i5-760 also includes a range of advanced features such as AES-NI encryption, AVX2 instructions, HT (Hyper-Threading), and VT-x virtualization, making it capable of handling virtualization and data-intensive applications for its time.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-760 achieves an Overall Score of 4662, ranking #1140 out of 2060 processors, with a Singlecore Score of 4662 (#1170) and a Multicore Score of 4661 (#1016). These results place it just behind similar CPUs like the Core i5-2310 and Core i5-2500K, but slightly ahead of lower-tier models such as the Pentium G3420 and G2120. While the single-core and multicore scores are closely aligned, the processor shows a slight edge in multicore performance, suggesting better scalability under multi-threaded workloads. However, it falls far behind modern high-end CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX or Core Ultra 9 285K, which dominate the top 50 lists in both single-core and multicore categories.

Despite being outdated by today’s standards, the Core i5-760 remains a viable option for basic computing, office productivity, and light multimedia tasks in systems that require compatibility with older motherboards. Its integration of key technologies like AVX2 and AES-NI ensures it can still run modern software, albeit at reduced efficiency. For users seeking a low-power, entry-level upgrade, the i5-760 provides a balanced combination of performance and cost, though it is best suited for non-demanding use cases rather than high-performance computing or gaming.
