Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake Core i5 10500T Processor

The Intel Core i5‑10500T is a 10th Generation (Comet Lake) desktop CPU designed for efficient performance with low power consumption. Built on Intel’s 14 nm process, it features 6 cores and 12 threads, a base clock of 2.3 GHz and a Turbo Boost up to 3.8 GHz. It includes 12 MB of Smart Cache and supports DDR4-2666 memory up to 128 GB, making it a capable choice for day-to-day productivity, light content creation, and compact or quiet PC builds. Despite its modest clocks compared to higher-power parts, its 35 W (configurable down to 25 W) TDP gives it an edge in systems where thermal output and power draw are constrained. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 handles typical display and multimedia tasks without a dedicated GPU, and the LGA 1200 socket compatibility with 400-series chipsets makes it viable for mainstream desktop builds focusing on balance rather than raw flagship performance.
