Intel Core i5 6500 LGA1151 Socket 3.20GHz Processor

Good enough for gaming. You don't need an i7 to game.If you aren't getting a Z170/Z270/X99 motherboard and the most you are doing is gaming - this is as high as you should go. If you do video editing or any CPU intensive tasks get an i7.If you want to overclock - get the k-series i5.Kaby Lake update : Kaby Lake CPUs don't seem to have that much of an improvement (gaming-wise) and command a price premium. If prices do come down - get a Kaby Lake i5.

I am so thankful to Intel .Amazon fast delivery is an exceptionWorks like a charm I setup everything myself and I did this for this time that I built my own rigThis processor is enough to work games like Cs go and CS 1.6 and the games like ps1 and ps2 as well ... I am sure you will be happy with this product !

Hey there i am actually reviewing this product after using this for 4 months.So i have come to know more about this product.So lets actually ome straight into the review.The intel core i5 6500 has 4 cores and 4 threadsHas a good clockspeed of 3.2 ghz which can turbo upto 3.6 ghz.Has 6 mb of L3 cacheThis is based on the 14nm architecture which means that this is both powerful and power efficient.This is good buy for most of the use case scenarios.So lets come to both the pros and consPROSHas 4 physical cores and 4 threadsGood clockspeedGood amount of cache memory14 nmNow lets come to theCONSIt is now a couple of years old you can better buy the 7th gen processorsIt is not overclockableIt is not great for video editing.SO now VERDICTThis is a great processor in many ways and good for many use case scenarios and has only little amount of flaws.Just GO FOR IT.

Best processor for high end gaming. For 16k a good balance between price, performance & power consumption. Pair this processor with an AMD R9-380 (4GB) or nvidia 970 plus 8GB system ramIf you can stretch your budget go for the i5 6600 (65w TDP)

Good product for gaming with .... With no overclocking ability yet this cpu is a better choise than the next 6600 version by saving 2k and receiving a same performance

Pretty nice, it may not be as good as the k series but it does the job pretty well! Good enough for games and stuff

excellent processor. I did a lot of rnd before buying a new cpu and this a perfect one for me.Very good response from seller (Net-Tech Vision ).

After 7 days of waiting finally i have received my order .this product is amazing now i am able to play almost games
