'''Core i3''' is family of low-end performance processors introduced by [[Intel]] since 2010, following the retirement of the {{intel|Core 2}} family. 

== Overview ==
Intel first announced the retirement of the {{intel|Core 2}} in mid-2009, but the Core i3 was not official launched until January 04, 2010. Core i3 microprocessors are considered performance processors, but generally sit on the low side of the scale. They sit below the {{intel|Core i5}} and well below the {{intel|Core i7}} families, making it fairly decent for multitasking and somewhat OK budget gaming.

All Core i3 processors are dual-core. 

= Members =
Intel has traditionally been grouping Core i3 processors into generations based on the [[microarchitecture]] they are based on with 1st generation being based on {{intel|Westmere}} in [[32 nm]] with the latest chips based on {{intel|Skylake}} manufactured using a [[14 nm process]].

== 1st Generation (Westmere) ==
{{main|intel/microarchitectures/westmere|l1=Westmere Microarchitecture}}
{{empty section}}

===== Arrandale Core =====
The {{intel|Arrandale|l=core}}-based i3 processors are [[dual-core]] processors. These processors had the [[front-side bus|FSB]] replaced with {{intel|Direct Media Interface}} 1.0. These processors use {{packages|Socket-G1}}. They all have the following features:
* '''Bus:''' {{intel|DMI}} (2.5 GT/s) interface
* '''TDP:'''  18, 35 W
* '''ISA:''' Everything up to {{x86|SSE4.2}} ({{x86|SMM}}, {{x86|FPU}}, {{x86|NX}}, {{x86|MMX}}, {{x86|SSE}}, {{x86|SSE2}}, {{x86|SSE3}}, {{x86|SSSE3}}, {{x86|SSE4.1}}, {{x86|SSE4.2}}).
* '''Tech:''' {{intel|EIST}}, {{intel|VT-x}}, {{intel|Hyper-threading}}.

== 2nd Generation (Sandy Bridge) ==
{{main|intel/microarchitectures/sandy bridge|l1=Sandy Bridge Microarchitecture}}
=== Mobile ===
2nd Generation mobile Core i3 processors were based on {{intel|Sandy Bridge|l=arch}}, an entirely new microarchitecture the provided higher performance at higher power efficiency along with {{intel|sandy bridge (client) #Key_changes_from_Westmere|many other improvements and changes|l=arch}}. Those models integrated the graphics onto the same [[die]] as the [[microprocessor]] and introduced a new [[SIMD]] {{x86|AVX}} instruction set {{x86|extension}}. All Core i3 has the following features in common.

* '''Chipset Interconnect:''' DMI 2.0 (5 GT/s)
* '''TDP:''' 17 W, 35 W
* '''ISA:''' Everything up to {{x86|AVX}} ({{x86|SMM}}, {{x86|FPU}}, {{x86|NX}}, {{x86|MMX}}, {{x86|SSE}}, {{x86|SSE2}}, {{x86|SSE3}}, {{x86|SSSE3}}, {{x86|SSE4.1}}, {{x86|SSE4.2}}, and {{x86|AVX}}).

== 7th Generation (Kaby Lake) ==
{{main|intel/microarchitectures/kaby lake|l1=Kaby Lake Microarchitecture}}[[File:7th Gen Core-i3-badge.png|right|150px]]
7th 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. 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). Overall very few minor features were introduced in the 7th Generation Core i3 models, including improved GPU support for 4K playback via native hardware acceleration. All models incorporate a 600-series [[integrated graphics processor]] which is largely identical to their {{intel|skylake#Graphics|6th generation 500-series}} counterparts. Note that 7th generation Core i3 models have dropped support for ECC memory which were used in many small-business and home servers.

=== Desktop ===
Desktop 7th generation Core i3 processors were launched in January of [[2017]]. While their clock-for-clock performance is identical to their 6th generation counterparts, they are clocked higher which allowed for a slight performance increase. All desktop models use {{intel|LGA-1151|Socket LGA-1151}} and have the following common features:
* '''TDP:''' 35-60 W
* '''ISA:''' Everything up to AVX (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, AVX)
* '''Tech:''' Software Guard ({{intel|SGX}}), Memory Protection ({{intel|MPX}}), {{intel|OS Guard}}, {{intel|VT-x}}, and {{intel|Hyper-Threading}}
