For enthusiasts and gamers looking for the ability to customize performance, the Intel Core i5-655K Processor is the breakthrough they've been waiting for. The Core i5-655K is an unlocked processor, meaning you can easily "overclock" the chip and push it further for better performance. The Intel Core i5-655K Processor has two cores and also features Intel HD Graphics, and the latest Intel technologies for your desktop computer.

Intel Core i5-655K Processor features: Two 3.2 GHz cores for great performance. Unlocked multiplier allows for easy overclocking. 4 MB of Intel SmartCache. Built-in Intel HD Graphics. Turbo Boost Technology for extra horsepower.

The unlocked processor makes it easy to overclock for maximum performance. View larger.

Break Through Previously Locked Performance Limits
The new Intel Core i5-655K Processor has an unlocked multiplier, which allows you to easily increase the core and memory frequencies beyond the original specifications. If you hit a power wall, you also have the ability to increase the current and wattage limits of the processor to have access to more power. When combined with a robust motherboard, good cooling, and high-performance DDR3 memory based on Intel Extreme Memory Profiles (Intel XMP), you have the most flexibility for overclocking available.

Intel recommends the following motherboards for the Intel Core i5-655K Processor: Intel DP55KG, DP55SB, DP55WG, DH57DD, DH57JG. These boards fully support the Core i5-655K's flexible overclocking capabilities allowing for maximum performance.

Gaming to the Max
The Core i5-655K enables an incredible experience for all kinds of games. For hard-core gamers who enjoy overclocking their system, the Core i5-655K gives them more options than ever before. With the ability to spread artificial intelligence (AI), physics, and rendering across multiple threads, you'll be able to concentrate on the game and be completely immersed in smooth-playing, detailed worlds.

Multiple Cores for Speedy, Multi-Threaded Performance
The Core i5-655K contains two processors, or execution cores, on one integrated circuit. Combined with four threads, it can simultaneously work on multiple tasks. Even without overclocking, the Core i5-655K runs at 3.20 GHz for fast performance that is more than capable for most applications.

Turbo Boost Technology Gives Extra Speed When You Need It
Intel Turbo Boost Technology automatically oversees your workload, redirecting power and moderating performance for better efficiency. With Turbo Boost enabled, the Core i5-655K accelerates from its usual 3.2 GHz up to a maximum single-core frequency of 3.46 GHz.

Hyper-Threading for Better Efficiency
The Core i5-655K features Intel Hyper-Threading Technology to deliver more efficient use of resources and better performance on multi-threaded software. You can run demanding desktop applications (such as music and movie creation applications),while running background applications (such as virus protection software), and still maintain system responsiveness.

Large Smart Cache for Better Media Performance
Intel Smart Cache provides performance-maximized storage for frequently accessed data. The Core i5-655K has a generous 4 MB of Smart Cache kept close to the processor, so there's always data feeding in. The result is better overall functionality for everyday applications, and markedly improved performance for rich-media titles and games.

Built-in Intel HD Graphics
With the Core i5-655K, Intel HD Graphics is built right into the CPU, so you won't have to spend money on a discrete graphics card to get stunning results. Intel HD Graphics provides sharp images, rich color, and lifelike audio and video. It supports multiple monitors, premium video such as Blu-ray Disc playback and mainstream gaming, as well as a full Windows 7 experience. The Core i5-655K has a graphics core that runs at 733 MHz to maximize viewing power.

Advanced Technology to Keep Your Computer Secure
Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides a hardware-based set of extensions that enhance security capabilities, protecting your computer against software-based attacks and protecting the confidentiality and integrity of data stored on your clients' PCs.

Made on a 32nm manufacturing process for better energy efficiency, the Core i5-655K uses the LGA1156 socket and is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

Now there is a family of smart processors that can provide extra performance when you need it, and increased energy efficiency when you don’t. Intel Core i5-655K Unlocked Processor, 3.20 GHz with 4 MB L3 shared cache. Features Overclocking Enabled, which allows full control over the processor core/turbo and DDR ratios for the best possible overclocking results. Intel Turbo Boost Technology which accelerates your performance to match your workload. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Dual-core with four-way multi-task processing), Intel HD Graphics at 733 MHz in the LGA1156 package. Intel HD Graphics supported when used with DH55, DH57 based motherboards. Included in box: processor, manual and chassis sticker. Three-year Limited Warranty. Intel Turbo Boost Technology automatically speeds up your processor when you need it. So even if you’re running multiple applications at the same time, turbo boost taps any unused power to give you an extra boost of speed. Like a modern sports car, where the car can deliver power and traction to the wheels where they’re needed, Intel Turbo Boost Technology automatically speeds up the processor when the PC needs extra performance. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology lets your processor do many things at the same time, similar to a toaster that has two slots instead of one, or four slots instead of two. The result is that you can do a lot more in less time. Intel HD Graphics provides superb visual performance for sharper images, richer color and lifelike video. Now available on select models of the Intel Core Processor Family.
