"The Core i5 was the second CPU from Intel to come with an integrated memory controller (the Core i7 was the first, while the Core i3 was the third), feature present on CPUs from AMD since the Athlon 64. Core i5 CPUs are based on the Core architecture, like Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad, but with several enhancements to increase performance (Nehalem microarchitecture). Members of the Core i5 family are available in three different sockets, LGA1156 (for desktop computers), PGA988, and BGA1288 (for laptops)."
