Intel Core i3-32100 3.1 GHz LGA1155 Processor
The Intel Core i3-32100 is a second-generation dual-core processor that runs at 3.1 GHz with 3 MB of L3 cache and a 5 GT/s DMI link. It fits the LGA1155 socket and is built on a 32 nm process with a 65 W thermal design power. This unit is sold as a new processor only, intended for desktop systems that use the LGA1155 platform.
Upgrade from earlier LGA1155 dual-core CPUs
The jump is worth it when a system still on a first-generation Core i3 or Pentium needs higher clock speed and larger cache for smoother multitasking and responsiveness in everyday workloads. It does not suit builders who need more cores, integrated graphics upgrades, or a newer socket platform.
Highlights
- Second-generation Core i3 desktop processor
