Intel Core i5 760

A step up from the Core i5 750, the Intel Core i5 760's clock has been revised upwards. The 4 cores are therefore clocked at 2.80 GHz instead of 2.66 GHz for the 750. In practice, this translates into performances a little over 3% better on average.

For the rest, the two are the same: still low energy consumption and still with Turbo mode. To recap, Turbo mode allows you to increase the clock when not all of the processor's cores are being used, rather than putting other cores to the task. On the 760, the maximum clock is 3.33 GHz (3.20 GHz on the 750). This increase in clock is automatic and with no resetting or driver required.
