Intel Core i5-2400 Pro Reviews

xbitlabs‘s review Edit

So, no matter how attractive the price of new Core i5-2500, Core i5-2400 and Core i5-2300 processors looks like and how appealing their performance is, you should be reasonable and understand very well that you can’t get off cheap if you decide to move to a new platform. It is quite possible that it would make more sense to go for a high-speed LGA1156 or LGA1366 processor instead of buying a new Sandy Bridge CPU at this point.

When it comes down to it, Sandy Bridge has negated almost every reason you might have had to purchase an X58 or P55 system. You get the performance near that of a $1000 Core i7 980x but at about half of the total system cost. For those of you who have been holding on with Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad, your upgrade just arrived! Intel launches their "Tock" architecture, Sandy Bridge, and it's a winner. With incredible power efficiency, performance per watt is at an all time high. For enthusiasts Sandy Bridge is a dream with a mountain of overclocking headroom at a price that won't destroy your budget.

Tom's Hardware‘s review Edit

No doubt, there’s a lot going on in this launch. The Sandy Bridge introduction hits a number of high notes that have me dusting off an award, while simultaneously compelling me to cringe at a couple of Intel’s clumsier moves. Overclocking isn’t handled well at all. Really, the only viable option for power users is a K-series SKU. The fact that we have a couple of choices in the $200 and $300 ranges is great. But the limited overclocking (Core i5/i7) and outright lack of options (Core i3) strikes a sour chord sure to burn off a lot of the enthusiast equity Intel earned by launching the K-series chips last year. The graphics situation, at least on the desktop, is also pretty whacky.
