Intel Core i3 Processors


Intel Core i3 Logo

The Intel Core i3 processor is an entry-level CPU capable of delivering fantastic results in both gaming and professional workloads. These processors feature up to four cores, can operate eight threads simultaneously, and run at clock speeds of up to 4.5GHz. An Intel Core i3 is perfectly suited for everyday computing tasks, such as web browsing, office applications, and consuming your favourite media. Furthermore, these processors are an excellent choice for an entry-level gaming PC. Many Core i3 CPUs feature integrated graphics, allowing you to play most of the most popular esports titles and more. With the addition of a discrete GPU, an Intel Core i3 gaming PC will be fantastic for playing modern AAA gaming titles at 1080p resolutions. In addition to this, a Core i3 CPU boasts exceptional value, both in terms of budget and efficiency, with many processors boasting TDPs under 70W.


An Excellent Entry Point

The Intel Core i3 is ideal for a wide variety of everyday workloads, such as sending emails, office work, and browsing the internet. What’s more, they also make an excellent entry point to the world of gaming. This is thanks to them being budget-friendly whilst offering superb gaming performance. Here are some of the Intel Core i3 advantages for gaming:

  • Single Core Performance: Gaming workloads generally operate on a single thread, meaning you don’t need many cores to get good results. With up to four cores that can reach speeds of 4.5GHz, an Intel Core i3 is perfect for gaming at 1080p resolutions.
  • Excellent Efficiency: Compared to their higher tiered counterparts, Intel Core i3 CPUs do not require large amounts of power. This means you can spec your PC with a lower power delivery in mind, allowing you to install a lower wattage PSU. Plus, they do not produce as much heat. Due to this, maintaining an Intel Core i3 CPU at ideal temperatures can be achieved with minimal cooling.
  • Integrated Graphics: Many Intel Core i3 CPUs are equipped with iGPUs, such as Intel UHD Graphics 730. This allows these processors to function as both your CPU and GPU. As a result, gamers on a budget can build an entry level gaming PC and upgrade later with the addition of a graphics card.
