Core 2

Core i3 is family of low-end performance processors introduced by Intel since 2010, following the retirement of the Core 2 family.

Overview

Intel first announced the retirement of the 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 Core i5 and well below the 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 Westmere in 32 nm with the latest chips based on Skylake manufactured using a 14 nm process.
