What customers say about "Details"
Intel Core i3-3210 CPU Processor
- I had built a new computer for a friend, it was easy to install.
- The box cooler was easy to install. Great socket.
- Great socket, good performance of cores.
- I ordered this processor for a home PC, the chip and the cooler were installed easily, I recommend.
- Socket 1155 is already outdated.
Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Processor
- I put it into a new Asrock motherboard. I like it.
- Quiet, even with standard cpu fan/cooler.
- I don't find any problem with the included Intel CPU cooling fan. Easy to install.
- Since Turbo Boost is not possible, the standard fan/heatsink is more than sufficient. Great socket.
- CPU have 4 cores and run really smooth.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"
Intel Core i3-3210 CPU Processor
- Cold, in a large enclosure 38-40 degrees in Silent mode.
- Decent processor, for games and office work, the video on the CPU is enough for daily work.
- Cool, fast, if for an office there is plenty of built-in graphics.
- At idle 30-35 degrees, it does not rise above 50 at load! Great temps.
- Very low power consumption and heat dissipation.
Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Processor
- 3.3Ghz this CPU will give you solid performance for most everyday tasks.
- With 4 threads (to physical cores w/ hyper-threading) and a clock speed of 3.3Ghz this CPU will give you solid performance for most everyday tasks.
- 2 cores, 4 threads, good built-in video graphics, and faster than my old i5 laptop!
- Fast dual-core processor, and I can't really tell the difference between this and my quad-core i5-2500K on regular Internet browsing and word processing tasks.
- Fast, same WEI score as the older Lynnfield.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"
Intel Core i3-3210 CPU Processor
- Support for 32GB of memory is a lot today, I like it.
- This CPU has all three levels of cache, that's good. I can play games, use the Internet, and work without lags.
- Good processor, the memory performance is impressive.
- Cache is not enough for the me goals.
- 3Mb of cache is not enough for games.
Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Processor
- I am running a small machine with this CPU, 8Ghz of cheap RAM, and a bargain Mobo. Works great.
- It is running perfectly along with 4 GB of RAM and a GTX 560, this combination is good enough to max out any game.
- I bought this item with a kit, a motherboard and ram memories, this, too, surpassed my expectations in quality and performance, 100 % matches the seller's description.
- It would be nice if it came with a higher HD graphics chipset and the ability to use more shared RAM.
- This is the sandly one and memory is locked to 1333 while the ivy one has 1600 plus runs cooler and less the 20 more.
