Intel Core i5 3550 Processor 3.3 4 BX80637I53550 Reviews
| 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful  First Intel build and I am thrilled!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Intel Core i5 3550 Processor 3.3 4 BX80637I53550 (Personal Computers) I almost bought the i7 Ivy Bridge model instead. Glad I did not! This thing is more than I need even now. I have always supported AMD but with their FX chips falling below expectations I decided to make the switch to Intel and waited for the Ivy Bridge to be released.My new rig is as follows: Intel i5 3550 Processor@ 3.3GHZ EVGA NVIDIA GTX 550Ti with 1GB RAM 8GB of DDR3 Corsair Vengeance RAM @ 1600MHZ Western Digital 1TB HDD with 32MB Cache Gigabyte Z77-D3H Motherboard (Highly recommended for this processor if you DON'T want to SLI/Crossfire) Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Even with a mid-level graphics card I can run Crysis 2 on Extreme setting WITH DX11 tessellation and the High Resolution texture pack. Skyrim is maxed out on everything including anti-aliasing and filtering. I can finally play Shogun 2 in all its glory. I had my graphics card in my previous build which I had for about 5-6 years. That system was a... Read more  Turboboost better than expected; but not much value to this "tick", By The Irish Patient (Western Massachusetts) - See all my reviews This review is from: Intel Core i5 3550 Processor 3.3 4 BX80637I53550 (Personal Computers) First off, understand that this review assumes that you're going to use a graphics card in your desktop computer. Do NOT buy this i5-3550 or any of the non-K i5 processors if you intend to use the integrated graphics. The unlocked i5-3570K includes Intel Graphics 4000, whereas my i5-3550 and below all use Graphics 2500. The difference is very substantial and more than justifies the extra $30 to $40 for the i5-3570K.That said, I've just purchased an i5-3550 to upgrade from a SandyBridge Pentium G620. You can find my reviews of the Pentium G620 and of my Biostar TZ68A+ motherboard by clicking on my name. From a performance standpoint, the i5-3550 is a minor revision of the SandyBridge i5 processors that have been on the market for a year now. Performance is well known and doesn't need to be rehashed here. In case you're not familiar with Intel's tick-tock strategy, Intel upgrades either its processor design or its production machinery each year,... Read more Blazing Fast! Great for my DAW, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Intel Core i5 3550 Processor 3.3 4 BX80637I53550 (Personal Computers) Love it, Love it, Love it! I just finished a new DAW build and this thing is awesome. Paired with a gigabyte z77 DS3H board and 8gb of Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz RAM and I can't even imagine a way to crash Sonar X1. Don't hesitate. Ivy Bridge is solid! |
