Intel Core i5-8500 3.0 GHz Review

Posted on by


Intel's $200 Core i5-8500 is part of the second wave of Coffee Lake CPUs, released earlier this year. The processor comes with six cores and six threads, and will boost up to 4.1 GHz. Our testing shows that even at higher thread counts it won't ever go below 3.9 GHz, which will make life difficult for the Ryzen 5 2600 - its main competitor.
