Product overview
The HP 687943-001 is a desktop processor upgrade for select HP computers. It is built on the 22nm manufacturing process and is based on the Intel Core i5-3470 quad-core architecture. It has a base clock speed of 3.2GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.6GHz. The processor also features 6MB of L3 cache and supports Intel Hyper-Threading technology, allowing for up to 8 threads to be processed simultaneously. This processor also supports Intel Virtualization Technology and Intel 64 architecture. Additionally, it has a TDP of 77W and supports Intel's 5.00 GT/s DMI bus. This processor is compatible with LGA 1155 socket and it supports Intel's Rapid Storage Technology, Intel Smart Response Technology and Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
Comparison with similar products
When comparing the HP 687943-001 to similar processors, some key factors to consider include clock speed, core count, cache size, and supported technologies.
One potential comparison would be the Intel Core i5-3570, which has a slightly higher base clock speed of 3.4GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.8GHz. It also has the same 6MB of L3 cache and supports the same technologies as the i5-3470.
Another potential comparison would be the Intel Core i5-2500, which has a lower base clock speed of 3.3GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.7GHz. It also has 6MB of L3 cache but it has a higher TDP of 95W and it does not support Intel Hyper-Threading technology.
Finally, it could be compared to a newer processors like Intel Core i5-10400, which has a base clock speed of 2.9GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.3GHz. It also has 6MB of L3 cache, supports Intel Hyper-Threading technology, Intel Virtualization Technology and Intel 64 architecture, but it has a TDP of 65W, support DDR4 memory and has a newer socket LGA 1200.
Ultimately, the best processor for your needs will depend on the specific requirements of your application and the features of your system.
Installation and setup
Installing the HP 687943-001 processor in your computer requires some technical knowledge and should be done with care. Here are the general steps to follow:
- Before installing the new processor, ensure that the computer is turned off and unplugged from the wall. Also, ground yourself by touching a metal surface to discharge any static electricity that may be present on your body.
- Open the computer case and locate the LGA 1155 socket on the motherboard.
- Carefully remove the existing processor by gently lifting the lever on the socket and gently pulling the processor out of the socket.
- Carefully align the new processor with the socket and gently press it down into place. Make sure that the processor is securely seated in the socket and that the lever is locked in the down position.
- Reattach any cables or components that were removed during the installation process.
- Close the computer case and power on the computer.
- Enter the computer's BIOS settings and ensure that the new processor is being recognized. You may also need to update the BIOS to ensure compatibility with the new processor.
- Once the installation is complete, update the drivers and software of your computer to ensure optimal performance.
It is recommended that you consult the computer's manual or the manufacturer's website for specific instructions on installing the processor, as the process may vary depending on the specific model of your computer. It is also recommended that you seek a professional help if you're not confident in your technical skills.

About New Bulk Pack Products
A step higher from Intel Core i3 processors is the Intel Core i5 processors. There is a remarkable difference between these two different processor versions in terms of cache memory and the number of cores. The clock speed varies from one model to the next and is not very far from those of core i3 processors. Core i5 processors are mostly quad cores, but you can find up to six-core processors. That high number of processors makes them better performers than core i3, which only has two processor cores.
High Performance - Perfect for AAA Games
Despite the variance in clock speeds of core i5 processors, it is still possible to play 144op games without lags. Remarkably, it is possible to go beyond the 60 frames per second with these processors. They are suitable for multitasking and handling workload-demanding applications such as video editing, virtualization, cloud computing, big data, etc. Factually, they are among the high-end processors from Intel on the market today for desktop and laptop computers.
Power Consumption and TCO Vary with Clock Speed
As you would expect, the higher the clock speed, the more power the processor consumes. A higher clock-speed also implies a high total cost of ownership. That means you have to do a trade-off when shopping for Intel i5 processors. If you do not intend to run processor-intensive applications, then you can go for cost-friendly processors that clock at 2.50GHz. The clock speed can be as high as 3.4GHz, but that means you will have to dig deeper into your pocket. Such high processor speeds are only viable if upgrading from a low-end processor with an already estimated workload.
There is a non-linear relationship between clock speed and power consumption. It is even confusing to find some Intel Core i5 processors with higher clock speeds consuming less energy than others with relatively low clock speeds. What brings the difference? The secret lies in the power management system that is being improved with every new version and model of these processors. For example, an Intel Core i5 3470 clocks at 3.2 and uses 77W of power. An Intel 2nd generation Core i5 2400 clocks at 3.1HGz but consumes 95W of power.
Integrated AI Technology
This is a common feature of most of the high-end processors from Intel. Core i5 processors are integrated with AI technology that makes your computer adapt to what you use it for. This is technology at its best. We may not say much about the AI integration into the processors. But are meant to make your computer more adaptive to regular tasks it handles.
How to Shop for Intel Core i5 Processors
Many people going to the market for new PCs are more concerned with the processors the system uses. It is not just enough to know that it is an Intel i5 processor as there are variations in the market. Picking the right processor might be so problematic, especially if you are not an IT guru.
Fortunately, ALLHDD makes it simple. Just contact us for technical support if you need help when shopping for these processors. Our technical team is available to offer you support.

What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
