Introduction
Core i5 is a brand name used by Intel for several microprocessors, the
first of which were introduced in late 2009. It is positioned between the
mainstream Core i3 & Core 2 and the high-end Core i7 & Xeon brands.
Core i5, like Core i7, is based on the Nehalem microarchitecture. The
first Core i5 was introduced on September 8, 2009 and is a mainstream
variant of the Core i7, initially only quad-core desktop processors based on
Lynnfield,

The Intel core i3 series has been made to cater to the entry level
desktop and laptop computer market.
The core i7 series is stuffed with high performance processors that can
serve the high end market.
The Dual Core Core i5, as well as quad cores come with 4 threads each.

Our study only pertains to the term microarchitecture, code, and some
important microprocessor specification of Intel Core i5 based on the history
of its application, advantage and disadvantage, features and some
perspective view inside and outside of that processor like analyzing its parts
or actual physical structure. We are not focusing on a specific kind of Intel
Core i5 but we only give different example that is related or based on its
general description. All of the content of this paper may only be a
theoretical, or a part of review and study from the resources of our research.

Special Features
Some of the basic special features of Intel Core i5 are as follow:
1. Basically i5 processor are introduces to do the intelligent networking
and enhance the performance of the working for the sake of different
purposes such as for gaming, faster procession, reliable data
transmission etc.
Turbo
Boost
refers
to
Intel's
"overclocking"
feature
It allows the processor to run faster than its base clock speed when
only one or two processor cores are needed (like when you're running a
single-threaded task that you want done now).
This provides users with the opportunity to turn off a core if its not
being utilized.
Hyper-Threading Technology
Intel Hyper-Threading uses multi-threading technology to make a
processor appear to have more cores than it physically has to the
operating system and applications.
Hyper-Threading technology is used to increase performance at multithreaded tasks.
The simplest multi-threaded situation is a multi-tasking user running
several programs simultaneously, but there are other tasks that take
advantage of Hyper-Threading
For instance multimedia operations (like transcoding, rendering, etc.)
and Web surfing (loading different elements like Flash content and
images simultaneously).
All Core i7 CPUs use Hyper-Threading,
A six-core CPU can handle 12 streams
Four core handles eight streams, and a dual-core handles four streams.
Core i5 uses Hyper-Threading to make a dual-core CPU act like a fourcore one, but if you have a Core i5 processor with four true cores, it
won't have Hyper-Threading.

The instructions are ordinary CPU instructions such as add, move data,
and branch, but the multiple cores can run multiple instructions at the
same time, increasing overall speed for programs amenable to parallel
computing.

Glossary
DMI (Direct Media Interface) is a bus technology used in
Intel Core i5, i3, and i7 processors. The basic design or architecture is
that the processor communicated over a different channel with RAM, a
different channel with PCIe and a third channel DMI to communicate
with all other components of the computer. This increases the
performance significantly.
Chipset - is a set of electronics components in an integrated circuit that manage the
data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals.
Intel Chipset Support It install the latest software for your chipset,
which contains drivers for various components.
FDI ( Flexible Display Interface ) - is an interconnect created by
Intel in order to allow the communication of the HD Graphics
integrated GPU found on supported CPUs with the PCH south bridge
where display connectors are attached.
