Review on Intel I3 3245 3 40GHz Processor BX80637I33245 by Boyan Nedkov Tsonev ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

The number 3225 is relevant here. The HD 4000 video core is installed in the same 3220 as before. We lucked out and only had to pay $40 for the whole boxed set. Even with a standard cooler (which is, incidentally, quite quiet), the CPU becomes icy fast. I never got hotter than 42 degrees. When it comes to watching movies, surfing the web, and doing basic office work, the CPU is excellent for a low-cost home PC. You may still easily turn it into a toy vehicle by investing in a high-quality video card. It's not as inexpensive as we'd like, but neither is it prohibitively so. It was a g2120 before he came around. It's only a thousand dollars less expensive than the 3220, but it performs far more poorly. Those on a tight budget who aren't willing to settle for a low-end Pentium or an expensive i5 should consider it; I give it my highest recommendation.

Pros
  • Coo, efficacious, dependable, accommodating of dual-channel memory, and four threads
Cons
  • with the caveat of the cost
