Smart performance starts here
The
Intel® Core i3 processor family with Intel® HD Graphics delivers a
revolutionary new architecture for an unparallleled computing
experience.
As the first level in Intel's new
processor family, the Intel Core i3 processor is the perfect entry
point for a fast, responsive PC experience.
This
processor comes equipped with Intel HD Graphics, an advanced video
engine that delivers smooth, high-quality HD video playback, and
advanced 3D capabilities, providing an ideal graphics solution for
everyday computing.
A smart choice for home and
office, the Intel Core i3 processor also features Intel®
Hyper-Threading Technology¹, which enables each core of your processor
to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering the performance you
need for smart multitasking. Do not let too many open applications slow
you and your PC down. Get smart performance now.
Product information
- 2.93 GHz core speed
- Four processing threads
- 4 MB of Intel® Smart Cache
- Two channels of DDR3 1333 MHz memory
Features and benefits
32nm dual-core processing runs two independent processor cores in one physical package at the same frequency.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology delivers two
processing threads per physical core for a total of four threads for
massive computational throughput. This 4-way multi-task processing
allows each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same
time.
Intel® Smart Cache is shared cache dynamically
allocated to each processor core, based on workload. This efficient,
dual-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each
core can access data from the fast cache, significantly reducing
latency to frequently used data and improving performance.
Intel® HD Graphics provides superb visual
performance for sharper images, richer color, and life-like video and
audio. Available on select models of the all new 2010 Intel® Core
processor family.
¹ Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel®
HT Technology) requires a computer system with a processor supporting
Intel® HT Technology and an Intel® HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS,
and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific
hardware and software you use. For more information including details
on which processors support Intel® HT Technology, see www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm.

Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor
numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across
different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.

± Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT),
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT), and Intel® 64 architecture
require a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, enabling software
and/or operating system, device drivers and applications designed for these
features. Performance will vary depending on your configuration. Contact your
vendor for more information.
° Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires
a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting
operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system
delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.
Φ 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires
a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device
drivers, and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will
not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64
architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and
software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.
