Intel has launched the new generation of their powerful processors, this time codenamed Coffee Lake. These processors have a very similar architecture to their highly successful predecessor, the Skylake series. However, Intel has introduced various optimisations, creating the Pentium Gold G5500 processor that delivers a significant performance boost while maintaining minimal energy requirements.
The Coffee Lake architecture is once again based on a 14nm production process. What used to be a very demanding manufacturing process at first, Intel has mastered to a stunning degree of perfection, which means the Intel Pentium Gold G5500 processor can offer a superb price/performance ratio. The processor's massive data throughput is also aided by the tried and true Hyper-Threading technology. The Intel Pentium G5500 is clocked at a solid speed of 3.8GHz. Access to data is greatly facilitated by a fast 4MB L3 cache that gives the processor cores enough time for instant response to all applications. The Intel Pentium G5500 processor is guaranteed to serve as a reliable building block for your gaming PC system.
With this processor series, Intel has focused on optimising the already existing technology, so these new Coffee Lake series processors are compatible with the currently available 1151-socket motherboards. The only thing you have to do is to check the motherboard compatibility with the manufacturer and make a relatively simple upgrade to UEFI.
