'''Core i3''' is family of low-end performance processors introduced by [[Intel]] since 2010

== Overview ==
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 up to Coffee Lake 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}}[[File:core i3 logo (2009).png|right|150px]]

===== 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:

* '''Chipset Interconnect:''' {{intel|DMI}} 1.0 (2.5 GT/s)
* '''TDP:''' 18 W, 35 [[Watt|W]]

== 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

== 8th Generation (Coffee Lake) ==
{{main|intel/microarchitectures/coffee lake|l1=Coffee Lake Microarchitecture}}
8th Generation-core based on the {{intel|Coffee Lake|l=arch}} microarchitecture were introduced in early 2018. Those parts offer are manufactured on Intel's third generation [[14 nm process|14 nm++ process]] which allowed for higher clock frequencies and a number of other changes.
=== Desktop ===
{{see also|intel/cores/coffee lake s|l1=Coffee Lake S}}
{{intel|Coffee Lake|l=arch}}-based Core i3s were introduced in late 2017 with a number of high-end SKUs. A larger number of SKUs were introduced in April 2018. Although they still use standard {{intel|LGA-1151|Socket LGA-1151}}, those parts are no longer backwards compatible with earlier 100/200-series [[chipsets]] and must be paired with an appropriate {{intel|300-series chipset}}. A significant configuration change has taken place with the introduction of Coffee Lake including bumping the core count for the Core i3s from [[2 cores]] to [[4 cores|4]] and doubling the [[L3 cache]] which has signficantly increased the performance of those parts over the prior generation. Note that with the doubling of the core, Intel has dropped {{intel|hyper-threading}} support from those models. All models have the following features in common:

* [[Quad-core]] without {{intel|Hyper-threading}}, 6/8 MiB [[L3$]]
* '''Mem:''' Up to 64 [[GiB]] of 2400 MT/s [[DDR4]] with [[ECC]] support
* '''I/O:''' PCIe Gen 3.0 x16 lanes
* '''TDP:''' 54-65 W (SP), 35 W (LP)
* '''ISA:''' Everything up to AVX2 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, AVX, FMA3, and AVX2)
* '''Tech:''' {{intel|VT-x}}, {{intel|VT-d}}, {{intel|EPT}}, {{intel|SpeedStep}} (EIST), Software Guard ({{intel|SGX}}), {{intel|Secure Key}}, Memory Protection ({{intel|MPX}}), {{intel|OS Guard}}, and Identity Protection ({{intel|IPT}})
* '''GPU:''' {{intel|UHD Graphics 630}} @ 350 MHz with bursts of 1.1-1.15 GHz
