Intel Core i5-10500 Desktop CPU - 4.5 GHz - LGA1200 - 65W

The Intel Core i5-10500 is a 10th-generation Comet Lake desktop processor built on the LGA1200 platform. With 6 cores and 12 threads running at a base clock that turbo boosts up to 4.5 GHz, it delivers enough processing power for general productivity, multitasking across office applications, web browsing, media consumption, and light content creation. The 65W TDP ensures it runs cool and quiet under most workloads, making it compatible with a wide range of stock and aftermarket coolers without requiring an elaborate thermal solution.

This renewed unit has been professionally inspected and tested to meet functional and cosmetic standards comparable to a new processor. For users building a budget-friendly desktop or refreshing an existing Intel 400 Series system, the i5-10500 offers a practical balance of performance and value. Its integrated UHD 630 graphics can handle basic display output and light media tasks, though a dedicated GPU is recommended for gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads. Paired with a B460 or H470 motherboard and DDR4 memory, it forms the foundation of a capable and cost-effective everyday PC.
