Intel BX80633I74820K

Overview

The Intel BX80633I74820K is a desktop processor designed to deliver strong performance for multitasking and demanding applications. Featuring four physical cores and eight threads, it runs at a base clock speed of 3.7 GHz and can boost up to 3.9 GHz when extra power is needed. This processor is well suited for workstations, gaming rigs, and content creation setups that require efficient data handling and responsiveness.

With support for quad-channel DDR3 memory and PCIe 3.0 lanes, it enables fast communication with memory and high-bandwidth devices. The 10 MB Smart Cache reduces latency, making it easier to work with large files or run multiple programs simultaneously. It fits into motherboards with the LGA2011 socket and requires a separate cooling solution due to its 130 W thermal design power.

Connectivity and compatibility

This processor is compatible with motherboards that feature the LGA2011 socket, commonly found in high-performance desktop platforms. Its PCIe 3.0 lanes support fast communication with graphics cards and storage devices, making it suitable for gaming and professional workloads. The quad-channel DDR3 memory support allows for large memory configurations, which benefits multitasking and memory-intensive applications.

Performance and reliability

With Intel Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading technologies, this processor balances strong single-core speeds with efficient multi-threaded performance. The 10 MB Smart Cache helps reduce latency, which is critical when working with large datasets or running multiple applications. Its 130 W TDP means it is built for demanding environments but requires a capable cooling solution to maintain stable operation.

Ideal uses and environments

This processor fits well in custom desktop builds aimed at gaming, content creation, and general productivity tasks. It is a practical option for users who already have or plan to use an LGA2011 motherboard and want a balance of speed and multitasking capability without moving to the latest generation platforms. Its support for quad-channel memory and PCIe 3.0 makes it a strong choice for workstations and enthusiast setups that need reliable performance under load.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
