Intel i5-3470. Ivy Bridge goodness.

Great little processor. Even not being unlocked running at base clock of 3.2GHz, my computer is no slouch in practically any department, save for video editing, which I have not tested yet. I picked this up for $70 used, but they still go for almost $400 brand new! Being on the Ivy Bridge platform really helps as well.Read full review...

Great CPU for the socket.

Great CPU for the socket. With the wide availability of newer graphics cards, finding a good budget option to replace the CPU most commonly involved in the performance bottleneck of older computers is always a relief. Has been running great for me.Read full review...

Great Processor!

Upgraded from a G2020 Dual Core processor. Fit perfectly into my LGA 1155 motherboard. What a dramatic difference in overall PC speed!

Bought for a server

Worked great. Still does. I put this into a computer that I use for a Minecraft server. It works just fine, much better than my old processor. Good price too! I leave the server up 24/7 and the processor does a great job handling logins and world generation and stuff like that for several Minecraft clients. Glad I bought!Read full review...

A great budget cpu, even in 2019

A nice upgrade to a second gen i5. Able to use faster memory, and upgrade to a motherboard with USB 3.0. Prices are very affordable now.

Great chip for cheap

These old i5 cpus have pretty amazing value considering you can find a 3470 for $25. Preforms great in games and general usage.

Does what I bought it for.

Was excited to move from my I3 to the I5. Wish I knew I needed to swap out the Intel Stock Heatsink and Fan. Great Chip so far!
