Intel Core i5 4460 4th Gen Tray Processor
The
Intel Core i5 4460 is a reliable 4th Generation Haswell desktop processor built on Intel's 22nm process technology. Designed for everyday computing, office productivity, and entry-level use cases, this quad-core processor delivers stable and consistent performance for home and professional users. As a Tray version, the
Intel Core i5 4460 is supplied as a bare CPU only — no fan or cooler is included — making it a budget-friendly option for builders who already have a compatible LGA 1150 cooling solution and want dependable quad-core performance at a reduced price point. With built-in Intel HD Graphics 4600, it allows users to run a complete system without requiring a dedicated graphics card. Available in Bangladesh from
Softlink Computer BD.
Performance and Architecture
Core and Thread Configuration
The
Intel Core i5 4460 features four physical CPU cores and four threads, operating at a base clock speed of 3.2 GHz and dynamically accelerating up to a maximum turbo frequency of 3.4 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. Note that the
Intel Core i5 4460 does not support Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, meaning each physical core handles one thread at a time for a total of four threads. With 6 MB of Intel Smart Cache, a bus speed of 5 GT/s, and a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 84W, the
Intel Core i5 4460 delivers consistent quad-core processing performance suited to everyday computing workloads.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
The
Intel Core i5 4460 dynamically adjusts its clock speed up to 3.4 GHz during demanding workloads via Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, then scales back during lighter tasks to conserve power and reduce heat. This keeps the system responsive and thermally efficient throughout the day across all everyday computing usage scenarios.
Connectivity and Expansion
PCIe 3.0 Support
The
Intel Core i5 4460 supports PCI Express 3.0 with a maximum of 16 PCIe lanes, configurable as 1×16, 2×8, or 1×8+2×4. This provides reliable bandwidth for dedicated graphics cards, NVMe solid-state drives, and other expansion devices compatible with PCIe 3.0.
Memory Support
The
Intel Core i5 4460 supports dual-channel DDR3-1333/1600 and DDR3L-1333/1600 memory at 1.5V across two memory channels, with a maximum system memory capacity of 32 GB and a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported. This provides a stable memory configuration for a wide range of budget desktop build configurations on the LGA 1150 platform.
Integrated Graphics
The
Intel Core i5 4460 includes Intel HD Graphics 4600 with a base frequency of 350 MHz and a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.10 GHz, supporting up to 2 GB of shared video memory. It supports up to three simultaneous displays with a maximum resolution of 3840×2160 at 60Hz via DisplayPort, 4096×2304 at 24Hz via HDMI, 3840×2160 at 60Hz via eDP, and 1920×1200 at 60Hz via VGA, with support for DirectX 11.2/12, OpenGL 4.3, Intel Quick Sync Video, Intel InTru 3D Technology, Intel Flexible Display Interface, and Intel Clear Video HD Technology. This makes it suitable for multi-monitor office setups and everyday media use without a dedicated graphics card.
Supported Technologies
The
Intel Core i5 4460 supports a comprehensive set of Intel platform technologies including Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x with Extended Page Tables), Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d), Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, Intel My WiFi Technology, Intel Identity Protection Technology, Intel Secure Key, Intel AES New Instructions, Intel OS Guard, Anti-Theft Technology, Execute Disable Bit, Thermal Monitoring Technologies, Idle States, and Intel 64-bit architecture with SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX2 instruction set extensions. Note that Intel Hyper-Threading Technology and Intel Trusted Execution Technology are not supported on this processor.
Motherboard Compatibility
The
Intel Core i5 4460 uses the LGA 1150 (FCLGA1150) socket and is compatible with Intel 8 and 9 series chipset motherboards including H81, B85, H87, H97, Z87, and Z97 chipsets. It supports DDR3 and DDR3L memory up to 32 GB across two memory channels, with a maximum case temperature (TCASE) of 72.72°C and a compact package size of 37.5 mm × 37.5 mm. As a Tray processor, no thermal solution is included — a compatible third-party LGA 1150 cooler is required before installing and operating this processor.
Recommended Use Cases
The
Intel Core i5 4460 is well suited for budget-friendly custom desktop builds requiring reliable and stable quad-core performance. It handles office and business workstation tasks including documents, spreadsheets, email, and video calls efficiently. For students and home users, it manages web browsing, HD media consumption, online classes, and general productivity with ease. When paired with a discrete GPU, it can also handle entry-level gaming in less demanding titles. As a Tray processor sold as a bare CPU unit, it is particularly well suited for system builders and users who want maximum value from the proven Haswell LGA 1150 platform with their own existing compatible cooling solution.
