Product Overview
Intel Core i5-10500 is a mainstream option in Intel's 10th-gen Core, Comet Lake desktop PC microprocessor family. There is also a lower-powered variant, i5-10500T, that trades some performance for efficiency.
Like other i5 processors in the Comet Lake lineup, the Core i5-10500 comes with 6 cores and 12 threads. It has a single-core maximum frequency of 4.5GHz and sports the same Intel UHD Graphics 630 integrated GPU found in other Comet Lake processors, though the GPU's boost clock is capped at 1.15GHz. Compared to the base i5-10400, it mainly differs in clock speed.
The low-power Core i5-10500T shares with the base chip the same technical features. It is clocked, however, roughly 20% lower. As a tradeoff, it has a TDP of 35W, as do other Comet Lake T-series processors. It can also run at a 25W, TDP-down mode, though the clock speed is further capped.
As a third refinement based on the 14nm Skylake process, the Comet Lake desktop processors offer an increase in core count, clock speed, and cache capacity over its predecessor. All Comet Lake Core processors feature hyperthreading, allowing two threads to run on every core.
