Connectivity
Intel Socket 1151
The Intel Core i5-8500T is a desktop processor with 6 cores, launched in April 2018. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Coffee Lake architecture with Socket 1151. Core i5-8500T has 9MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.1 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.5 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is building the Core i5-8500T on a 14 nm
production process, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Core i5-8500T, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 35 W, the Core i5-8500T consumes only little energy. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2666 MHz, but with overclocking [and the right memory modules] you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the computer, Core i5-8500T uses a
PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i5-8500T, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization [PCI passthrough] is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions [AVX] will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
