Intel Core i5-655K
The Intel Core i5-655K is a dual-core processor based on Intel's Westmere microarchitecture. Fabricated on a 32nm manufacturing process, the i5-655K comes with an unlocked multiplier, allowing users to reach higher clock speeds and performance. It supports HyperThreading for a maximum of four threads, and has Intel's Turbo Boost technology for an automatic increase in clock speed when using only a single core.
HWZ's Overall Rating: 7.5
THE GOOD
Unlocked multiplier brings out its potential
Low power consumption
THE BAD
Price is not as competitive as it should be
