As such most models enjoy 100-300 MHz clock increase over their previous generation for the same price (Note that clock-for-clock there is no performance improvement over 6th generation Core i3). Intel has traditionally been grouping Core i3 processors into generations based on the microarchitecture they are based on with 1st generation being based on Westmere in 32 nm with the latest chips based on Skylake manufactured using a 14 nm process.ġst Generation (Westmere) Main article: Westmere Microarchitectureħth generation, modes which was introduced by Intel in early 2017, are manufactured on Intel's improved 14 nm process "14nm+" which allowed for higher clock speeds at similar voltage levels. They sit below the Core i5 and well below the Core i7 families, making it fairly decent for multitasking and somewhat OK budget gaming.Īll Core i3 processors up to Coffee Lake are dual-core. Core i3 microprocessors are considered performance processors, but generally sit on the low side of the scale. Intel first announced the retirement of the Core 2 in mid-2009, but the Core i3 was not official launched until January 04, 2010.
