Intel · Core i3 · 2017 · LGA1151
The Intel Core i3-7300 is a desktop processor with 2 cores, released in 2017 at an MSRP of $138. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the 7th Gen platform, and fits the LGA1151 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Kaby Lake" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 4 threads for improved parallelism. It operates at a fixed 4 GHz. Intel manufactures the "Kaby Lake" silicon on a 14nm process node. Its multiplier is locked, so any overclocking has to come from raising the base clock rather than the multiplier. This processor supports DDR4 memory. With a TDP of 51W, the Core i3-7300 is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. Integrated graphics are provided by the HD 630 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy consists of 32KB/core of L1, 0.5MB of L2, and 4MB of L3 cache.
Dual-core with Hyper-Threading — 2 cores, 4 threads. No Turbo Boost, fixed 4.0 GHz.
