                                       - Wanted to upgrade to socket 1150, but on a budget. This processor is super variant.
- What is great is its same socket so you won't have to change motherboard or anything.
- Comes with fan and thermal paste pre-applied for easy, quick installation.
- No issues installing the unit and my desktop is running smoothly.
- Installation was easy. I've actually had this for a full year now, and I have had zero problems with it.

                                       - The LGA1155 socket is great for this processor.
- Highly popular 1155 socket. This is exactly what I needed.
- When I went to install it, I was a bit of a novice and I did it easy.
- Works great. No issues on install and with daily use. Thanks Intel.
- This is the first time I assembled the computer myself and the installation of this CPU was easy.

                                       - Perfectly. I am using it on a MSI Krait edition socket 1150 motherboard paired with 16GB RAM and a 250 GB SSD.
- Definitely a fast processor for the price. Installed on my new motherboard and it seems to be working fine.
- When paired with a mid-level SSD, decent RAM it made for a fast everyday computer.
- This processor is quick and really made the difference. Thanks Intel.
- I use this on a media server. The system doesn't run blazing fast.
Intel Core i3-3220 CPU Processor
                                       - This cpu is great for the price. I've read that it outperforms amd fx quad cores that run at 4.2ghz.
- The hyperthreading feature allows you simulate two more cores at fast speeds.
- The 3.3 ghz on this baby make it very fast. Excellent processor.
- Great option for my my budget gaming build. Definitely recommend. Just works!
- A processor that is fast and affordable, you can't go wrong.

                               Intel Pentium G3220 CPU Processor
                                       - The G3220 has 3 MB of cache memory on board. And that's enough for me.
- Memory speed is not an issue. I have been using this for a year now and it works fine.
- I'm super impressed. Overall performance is sub "I3" but good enough for me. Good works with 32GB.
- You can't go wrong for this price. I can do any task on my PC with this CPU.
- I was looking for a processor with exactly the DDR3 memory type and this CPU came up best of all.
Intel Core i3-3220 CPU Processor
                                       - For everyday work on a computer and not very complex tasks, the cache in this processor is enough.
- This one is 22nm so I can use my memory at 1600 which is good.
- I coupled the 3220 with a mid range video card and 4GB of memory. I'm happy with how it works.
- No complaints. I install 32 GB of RAM and the computer flies.
- Limited cache. I would like a little more for such a processor.
