The mobile processor is 2450M. Intel Core i5 in all its glory
One of the most productive notebooks on the marketthe basis of the architecture of the CPU Core 2-nd generation allowed to create a chip 2450M. Intel Core i5 - it belonged to this family. Its hardware parameters, technical plan characteristics and other important nuances will be further considered.
Processor Connector
Just 2450M could be installed in 2 processor connectors. Intel Core i5 This generation could successfully function in thesocket PGA988B or BGA1023. In the first case, the chip could be dismantled from the motherboard, and in the second one - no. That is, in the second case it was directly decoupled from the motherboard.
Architectural features of the CPU
This chip belongs to the 2nd generation of the CPU onbased microprocessor architecture Core. Its code name is Sandy Bridge. Only 2 cores for computation are included in the Intel Core i5 2450M. The characteristics of the CPU on the official website of the manufacturer indicate that it supports HT technology. With its help at the software level, this chip is already visible as a 4-core solution, and this significantly increases its performance. Also, to the undeniable advantages of this CPU is the organization of the cache memory, which in this case includes:
- The 1st level has a capacity of 128 kb.
- 2nd level - 512 kb.
- 3rd level - 3 MB.
Another important point in this case isthe fact that the north bridge chipset of the motherboard is integrated into the CPU chip. This also allows you to increase the speed of your computer in the end.
Thermal characteristics, frequencies, technological aspects
The Intel Core i5 2450M Processor Mattersthermal package of 35 watts. This is quite significant for a mobile chip. But this, in turn, indicates that this model of the processor device is oriented to the use of high-performance notebooks. The maximum temperature value for this silicon solution is declared at 100 degrees Celsius. In reality, this parameter does not exceed 50-55 degrees during operation. The minimum frequency value for this CPU is set at 2.5 GHz, and the maximum value is 3.1 GHz. It should also be noted that the semiconductor crystal of this chip is manufactured according to the norms of 32 nm of the technological process.
A graphical subsystem integrated into a CPU chip
Built-in graphics accelerator was equipped with2450M. Intel Core i5 in any version has an integrated video adapter family of HD Graphics. Of course, it certainly does not have an outstanding level of performance, but in the mid-range mobile PC its availability is very, very justified.
Due to this, the cost of the laptop is reduced (nothe need to additionally complete the computer system with discrete graphics), and increases autonomy (still, the integrated accelerator consumes less energy than discrete). In this case, the model adapter 3000. The clock frequency is in the range from 650 MHz to 1.3 GHz. The number of simultaneously supported displays is limited to two.
Outcomes
All technical specifications indicate thatAt the same time, energy efficiency and performance were combined with the 2450M processor. Intel Core i5 was able to create a PC with excellent performance and good autonomy. It is due to this combination that Intel took the dominant position in the market of processor technologies.
