HD 2500 graphics could be limiting for some. As with all i5 products
No HyperThreading. 3570K isn't that much more expensive
Abstract: New Intel processors from the Ivy Bridge family have been in the market for a few months already, but it seems that they are not extremely popular. We have already pointed out multiple times that they do not look like a significant step forward compare...
Abstract: If looking at the average CPU temperature through a variety of workloads, the Core i5 3470 had an average temperature at stock speeds with the reference Intel heatsink fan of 54.7°C, a peak of 81°C, and bottomed out under idling at 31°C. The overall ...

Abstract: As you may know, a while back, we came to some difficult realizations about the validity of our methods for testing PC gaming performance. In my article Inside the second: A new look at game benchmarking, we explained why the widely used frames-per-second...
The current processor lineup is kind of interesting with both Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge CPUs sitting comfortably with each other and no real signs that the 2nd generation of Core processors running out anytime soon. The only real drawback to the Core i5...
Excellent CPU performance for the price, Compatible with many previous-generation motherboards, Reduced power usage
Poor 3D performance, CPU processing has seen only a minor speed boost from previous-generation Core i5 chips
The Core i5-3470 is an impressive performer on the processing front, particularly for its price. Unfortunately, its graphics module lacks the performance boost introduced on more expensive Ivy Bridge chips, so this is a CPU you'll probably want to pair w...
Intel's Core i5-3470 is a good base for a system equipped with a discrete GPU. You don't get the heavily threaded performance of the quad-core, eight-thread Core i7 but you're also saving nearly $100. For a gaming machine or anything else that's not going...

Good performance for the price. Backward compatible with Sandy Bridge motherboards.
Multiplier not fully unlocked. Few major performance increases over previous-generation counterparts
The Intel Core i5-3470 is a mainstream Ivy Bridge CPU that delivers solid performance with very few surprises (and limited overclocking opportunities)....
Good Performance, Relatively Low Power Consumption, Quick Sync 2.0, Competitive Pricing
Only Partially Unlocked, Wimpy Integrated Graphics, No Hyper-Threading
The Core i5-3470's integrated HD 2500 series graphics engine is a different story altogether, however. While the Intel HD 2500 graphic engine probably performs well enough for the majority of mainstream computer users out there, it offers roughly half the...
Abstract: The Core i5 was the second CPU from Intel to come with an integrated memory controller (the Core i7 was the first, while the Core i3 was the third), feature present on CPUs from AMD since the Athlon 64. Core i5 CPUs are based on the Core architecture, ...
Abstract: Late May we published a huge round-up of 45 desktop processors , followed by a review of Intel's fourth generation Core processors . Our readers immediately, and understandably, came with the request for a similar group test of laptop processors. It's a...
