Intel Core i5-661
The Intel Core i5 661 carries an on-die GPU, it also hum along to the tune of 3.33GHz, despite the clock speed advantage, the 661 only feature two physical cores. Another feature present in the i5 661 is Turbo Boost. When both cores are active the multiplier can be boosted by 1x, so for the Core i5 661 that would take the multiplier to 26x, resulting in a frequency of 3.45GHz. If just a single core is active then multiplier is boosted by 2x, taking the Core i5 661 to an impressive 3.60GHz frequency.
