It has a clock speed of 2.53 GHz, and expert computer users can overclock the speed up to 3.07 GHz. With two powerful cores and a 3MB Intel SmartCache, the 2.53 GHz i5-540m CPU can support a variety of Intel technology, such as Intel Clear Video HD and the Intel Flexible Display Interface. For computer users who enjoy multi-tasking, this Intel i5 product can support up to two displays at once. With a maximum operating temperature of 105 degrees Celsius, it can handle high temperatures without malfunctioning. This means that users looking to run resource-intensive programs can count on this processor for their advanced laptops.The 2.53 GHz processor has two cores and four threads that allow it to share 3MB SmartCache with Bus Speeds of 2.5 GT/s. Moreover, it can easily sustain 8GB of DDR3 memory and process HD graphics with a maximum dynamic frequency of 766 MHz. In simple words, the Intel Core i5-540M 2.53 GHz Dual Core processor falls in the mid-range classification for laptop and related hardware. Each core is based on the Westmere micro-architecture supporting both BGA1288 and PGA988 sockets. In addition, four threads enable hyper-threading for better usage of the CPU pipeline.A unique feature of this Intel Core 2.53 GHz technology is the graphics card and fusion of GPU with CPU. The HD graphics and memory controller are built on separate CPU dies, which enhances the durability of the particular components.

  • Great value

    It's a good CPU to upgrade an older laptop with. For only about ten bucks, it's a huge upgrade for some laptops.

  • Great upgrade for an older laptop

    Upgrading a mobile CPU by yourself isn't necessarily a task for the feint of heart, but I was able to replace an older P6200 with this i5 540M in an evening, and have noticed a good performance boost. It's been running great for a few weeks with no problems.
