Intel Core i5-7500 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz) Benchmark Results — All GPU Pairings Tested

Intel Core i5-7500 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz) has been stress-tested in 4 distinct GPU pairings from 32 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 60.9/100 (grade C). The strongest measured pairing is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at 64/100; the weakest is Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 at 57/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 1.9% with thermal health around 90/100.

What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.
