It offers 2 Physical Cores (4 Logical), clocked at 3.4GHz and 3MB of L3 Cache. Among its many features, Turbo Boost and HyperThreading are activated. The processor integrates relatively weak Graphics called Intel HD Graphics 2500, with 6 Execution Units, initially clocked at 650MHz and that go up to 1050MHz, in Turbo Mode which share the L2 Cache and system RAM with the processor. Both the processor and integrated graphics have a rated board TDP of 55W. It is a powerful processor whose performance is good. It's thus capable of running most applications smoothly without any problem. Core i3-3220 3.3GHz is a middle-class CPU based on the 22nm, Ivy Bridge architecture.
