Intel Core i3-2330M

The Intel Core i3-2330M is a dual core processor commonly seen on entry level core i-Series notebook PCs. The Intel Core i3-2310M is created on the Sandy Bridge architecture and clocked at 2.2 GHz. This Sandy Bridge processor offers Hyperthreading Technology to handle 4 threads at once for improvement in performance of up 20% more. Compared to the faster Core i5 and i7, the Core i3 does not offer the TurboBoost technology for the CPU part therefore the clock speed is fixed at 2.2 GHz. This is faster by 100 MHz faster than the Intel Core i3-2330M model.

The core i3-2330M processor, just like the 2310M and 2350M, has three cache levels, wherein each of the CPU core has its own 64 KB first level, 256 KB second level cache, and the cores share 3 MB third level cache. The L3 cache of the core i3-2330M, just like the 2310M and 2350M, is also shared with the integrated graphics processing controller.

The GPU of this microprocessor called Intel HD Graphics 3000 is HD-capable, and supports 3D acceleration and video processing features like Quick Sync, Clear Video HD, and InTru 3D. The On-chip memory controller of core i3-2330M has two channels and works with DDR3 memory. The CPU supports Intel 64, SIMD streaming extensions up to SSE4, and AVX instructions. Intel i3-2330M incorporates VT-x virtualization and HyperThreading. The Core i3-2330M supports quite a lot of instruction extension but not all like the TurboBoost Technology that is why its clock speed is fixed at 2.2 GHz.

The table below shows the processors' performance in terms of PassMark rating. The higher the rating the better the performance of the processor.
