The Intel Core i5-661 processor delivers outstanding performance at a great price. View larger. Multiple Cores for Speedy, Multi-Threaded Performance
The Intel Core i5-661 contains two processors, or execution cores, on one integrated circuit. Combined with four threads, the Core i5-661 can simultaneously work on multiple tasks. This design produces faster and more efficient results, so your computer won't slow down--no matter how many applications you have open.


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. In the past, unused portions of a chip would be turned off, leaving some cores idle. But with Turbo Boost Technology, unused performance is now routed to active cores, boosting performance without wasting power. With Turbo Boost enabled, the Intel Core i5-661 Processor accelerates from its usual 3.33 GHz up to a maximum single-core frequency of 3.6 GHz.


Hyper-Threading for Better Efficiency
The Intel Core i5-661 Processor features Intel Hyper-Threading Technology to deliver more efficient use of resources and better performance on multithreaded software. You'll be able to 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 Intel Core i5-661 has a generous 4 MB of Intel 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.


Intel HD Graphics Built-in
With the Core i5-661, Intel HD Graphics is built right into the CPU, so you won't have to spend money on a discrete graphics card in order to get stunning results. Intel HD Graphics provides sharp images, rich color, and lifelike audio and video. Intel HD Graphics support multiple monitors, premium video such as Blu-ray Disc playback and mainstream gaming as well as a full Windows 7 experience. The Core i5-661 has a graphics core that runs at 900 MHz to maximize viewing power.


The Intel Core i5-661 is made on a 32nm manufacturing process for better energy efficiency. It uses the LGA1156 socket and is backed by a three-year limited warranty.
