I5 – The 15 best products in comparison

Recommended products in the "I5" area

We have products in the range "I5" compared with each other and put together recommendations for you. Here you will find the top 15 in the “I5” section.

I5 – the most important things at a glance

The Intel Core i5 is a family of microprocessors produced by Intel. The first generation of the i5 was released in 2009 and the sixth generation of the i5 has been running since 2016.

The i5 is a so-called mid-range processor, positioned between the entry-level model Core i3 and the high-end processor Core i7. Compared to the i3, the i5 offers more power and better performance while being slightly less powerful compared to the i7.

The different generations of the i5 mainly differ in terms of performance. The current sixth generation of the i5 is significantly more powerful than the first generation, which was released over 10 years ago.

The various models of the i5 also differ in their performance. The current top model, the Core i57600K, is significantly more powerful than the entry-level model, the Core i56400.

When deciding on an i5 processor, the first thing to consider is what you intend to use it for. If you need a powerful processor for demanding tasks like gaming or video/photo editing, you should go for a more powerful model like the i57600K. For all other purposes, however, a simple model of the i5 is sufficient.
