Intel Core i5-4670K desktop processor

Socket LGA 1150 quad-core processor

The Intel Core i5-4670K is a 3.4 GHz quad-core desktop CPU built on the Haswell architecture. It targets enthusiasts who want an unlocked multiplier for overclocking on the LGA 1150 platform. Integrated Intel HD Graphics provides a display output without a discrete card. The 84 W TDP fits standard tower coolers.

DDR3 memory controller and integrated graphics

The on-die memory controller runs DDR3 directly, removing the need for a separate northbridge. Integrated graphics free a PCIe slot and power budget when a discrete GPU is not required. Virtualization technology support aids lab or test environments. An LGA 1150 motherboard and DDR3 modules complete the platform.

6 MB L3 cache and 84 W thermal envelope

The 6 MB shared L3 cache keeps four threads fed at stock 3.4 GHz and moderate overclocks. The 84 W design power handles typical gaming and productivity loads with headroom for modest frequency increases. Sustained all-core workloads at high voltage will exceed the stock cooler capacity. The 22 nm process limits maximum clock scaling compared to newer nodes.
