It combines the power of four 2.66 GHz computing cores into a single processor, guaranteeing enough processing power for the most demanding applications. With 8 MB of smart cache, the Core i5-750 processor ensures that you get maximum responsiveness from your system, even when several intensive programs run simultaneously. Compatible with motherboards based on the Intel P55 chipset, the Core i5-750 processor is the choice for mainstream users who want to maximize in-home PC performance.
Intel Core i5-750 Processor features:

• Four 2.66 GHz cores for better multitasking and multithreaded performance.
• 8 MB of smart cache.
• Integrated memory controller delivers higher memory bandwidth.
• Turbo Boost Technology allows for extra processing speed.
With four cores in one processor, users will experience better multitasking and multithreaded performance. The Intel Core i5-750 processor delivers outstanding performance at a great price.

Intel engineers replaced the front side bus -- a longtime staple of processor design -- with a new interconnect technology called Direct Media Interface (DMI). Using DMI, the i5-750 achieves superior levels of bandwidth, and can use its four computing cores to their maximum potential. To put it simply, users will enjoy faster and more streamlined processing than ever before. Your computer will handle multiple projects and applications without the slowdown you'd experience with a lesser processor. Extremely intensive programs like high-definition media editors will run more smoothly and responsively. And you'll be able to experience next-generation games without frame-rate hiccups and slowdowns. New Technologies Boost Performance The Intel Core i5-750 processor also makes use of some other cutting-edge technologies:
• Turbo Boost Technology allows the processor to run up to 133 MHz faster when it's operating below power/thermal limits.
• Smart Cache Memory increases available RAM resources, leading to less lag while multi-tasking.
Unlike the Intel Core i7 processor line, the Intel Core i5-750 processor does not feature Hyper-threading capability, so it will perform slightly worse when dealing with multi-threaded programs. Still, the Core i5-750 processor compares favorably with Core i7 processors in nearly all other respects. Media Editing and Gaming Faster than Ever Whether editing high-definition videos, touching up family photos, or splicing up music, the Intel Core i5-750 processor will provide the processing power needed. The processor's four cores are optimized to keep up with the most advanced digital editing software. Compared to the previous generation of Intel Core2 processors, the Intel Core i5-750 processor can process HD video almost twice as fast. It also accelerates DVD encoding and compression, allowing you to easily share your HD home videos with everyone. The Intel Core i5-750 processor is also designed to handle the intense calculations and graphical rendering behind today's latest games. It has the ability to process thousands of graphical characteristics at once, resulting in a smooth and lag-free experience. The Intel Core i5-750 processor is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

I got it in Trinidad 2 days later. I ordered it the same time with other parts for the computer but they all shipped the day after. The i5 came alone with a weight of 1.20lbs. I run Windows 7 64 bit and it never chokes with any apps or games and I have not overclocked it yet. If you want a serious gaming system do not spend more on the CPU than this, put the money towards a better graphics card or better SSD. The turbo boost works flawlessly to throttle the CPU instantaneously as necessary. Using the stock cooler I get around 40 degrees celcius when on the net or office apps and depending on how aggressively I set the fan speeds at most it reaches 60 degrees celcius during the day while gaming NFS Shift, Modern Warfare 2, World at War. The CPU never chokes on HD resolutions, AA 2x or 4x on for gaming. The bottle neck for me I think is the GPU and hard drive. Videos run smoothly, there are no freezes or crashes. If I decide to overclock then I will upgrade the stock cooler, the intel stock one is more than adequate for now. It's been a few weeks now with no problems and I am very happy with the build. The pc is not in an air conditioned room so with a/c air you can expect to get slightly lower temps. The temp in the room probably reaches around 30 degrees at peak. This CPU is amazing value for money, I predict this PC will last me well into the future, and when games get even more intense I can go xfire and get a SSD.
