    Summary

    Today, AMD is releasing its second-generation of FX CPUs, dubbed “Vishera.” The FX-8350 is currently the highest-end model available, running at 4 GHz and costing USD 195. Let’s see how it fares against its main competitor, the Core i5-3470 (3.2 GHz, U...

    Summary

    First off, I think the Intel Core i5-3470 is a great workstation CPU. Stepping up for around $50 over the Core i3-3240 gains a user a lot of features and a lot more performance. I do wish that Intel added ECC to the Core i5 and i7 lines and that the compa...

    Summary

    New Intel processors from the Ivy Bridge family have been in the market for a few months already, but it seems that they are not extremely popular. We have already pointed out multiple times that they do not look like a significant step forward compare...

    Summary

    If looking at the average CPU temperature through a variety of workloads, the Core i5 3470 had an average temperature at stock speeds with the reference Intel heatsink fan of 54.7°C, a peak of 81°C, and bottomed out under idling at 31°C. The overall ...

    Summary

    The Core i5-3470 is an impressive performer on the processing front, particularly for its price. Unfortunately, its graphics module lacks the performance boost introduced on more expensive Ivy Bridge chips, so this is a CPU you'll probably want to pair w...

    Pros

    Excellent CPU performance for the price, Compatible with many previous-generation motherboards, Reduced power usage

    Cons

    Poor 3D performance, CPU processing has seen only a minor speed boost from previous-generation Core i5 chips

  • 05/31/2012

    Summary

    Intel's Core i5-3470 is a good base for a system equipped with a discrete GPU. You don't get the heavily threaded performance of the quad-core, eight-thread Core i7 but you're also saving nearly $100. For a gaming machine or anything else that's not going...
