Intel’s LGA1155 Sand-y Bridge CPUs have been fantastic, though the operation has done tiny sense upon the bill finish of the marketplace yet. The dual-core Core i3-2100, retailing for £90, is out to set this straight. At initial glance, the i3-2100 looks similar to the CPU lightweight. It doesn't await Turbo Boost, and- to produce this upsetting spike home further, lacks the 'K' nomination which denotes an unbarred multiplier too. This equates to which the i3-2100 won't be winning any prizes for being the bill overclocking CPU.
What’s more, right away which most games and- applications have been eventually creation use- of 4 or some-more cores, the i3-2100's dual-core pattern equates to which the list of offered points is sincerely short. Thankfully, it has Hyper-Threading to supplement dual judicious cores. Meanwhile, the i3-2100 has the time magnitude of 3.1GHz and-, as it's done regulating the 32nm prolongation process, Intel states which it has the limit TDP of usually 65W – the third reduction than the energy expenditure of the Core i5-2500K quad-core CPU.
Unlike the Core i5-2500K, however, the i3-2100 has usually 3MB of common Level 3 cache (the i5-2500K boasts 6MB). Nevertheless, with 256KB of Level 2 cache per core, it should be equates to to keep up comparatively good in the infancy of tasks.
The i3-2100 is additionally versed with Intel's HD Graphics 2000 unit, nonetheless you'll need to use- the motherboard versed with an H67 or Z68, rsther than than P67, chipset to entrance it. The Processor Graphics (PG) section is the tiny ascent from the section enclosed with Intel's previous-generation Clarkdale CPUs, adding DirectX 10.1 support.
Specifications
- Frequency 3.1GHz
- Core Sand-y Bridge
- Manufacturing routine 32nm
- GPU Intel HD Graphics 2000
- Number of cores 2x physical, 2x logical
- Cache L1: 32KB + 32KB (each core), L2: 256KB (each core), L3: 3MB (shared)
- Packaging LGA1155
- Thermal pattern energy (TDP) 65W
- Features SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.2, EM64T, EIST, Execute Disable Bit,
- Hyper-Threading, VT, AES-NI, AVX, Quick Sync Video
However, the PG manages to take poignant loads, such as video encoding, off the CPU, which equates to which even really simple H67-based systems should be some-more skilful during multi-tasking, generally if your singular bill equates to which we do not wish to embody the dissimilar graphics card.
