Intel · Core i3 · 2018 · LGA1151
The Intel Core i3-8300 is a desktop processor with 4 cores, released in 2018. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the 8th Gen platform, and fits the LGA1151 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Coffee Lake" architecture. It operates at a fixed 3.7 GHz. Intel manufactures the "Coffee 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 62W, the Core i3-8300 is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. Integrated graphics are provided by the UHD 630 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy consists of 32KB/core of L1, 1MB of L2, and 8MB of L3 cache.
Standard locked-multiplier part.
