Product overview
Part number I5-6500 identifies this Intel Core i5-6500 4-Core 3.20GHz FCLGA1151 Processor. In a dual-socket board both sockets have to carry the same model, and the BIOS has to be new enough to recognise it. This is the 4-core part. Send the service tag and we will confirm the firmware revision as well as the chip.
Quotes are itemised down to the accessories, so nothing that is needed to make the part work is left off and discovered later.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
I5-6500 is what is quoted and I5-6500 is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
BIOS revision checked
We confirm the firmware level the platform needs to recognise this processor, because a chip the BIOS does not know will not post.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is I5-6500 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will I5-6500 work in my server?
Send the service tag. We check the platform's supported-CPU list and the BIOS revision it requires, and where the board is dual-socket we confirm what is in the other socket. A stepping the firmware does not recognise will not post.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
On a training or inference node the host CPU is sized around the accelerators it feeds, not chosen on its own.
