Review on Intel I3 3245 3 40GHz Processor BX80637I33245 by Santiago Serrano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dude, the i3 isn't bad

I don't know what's so special about the i3 packaging. Sure, it's a dual-core processor, but it has hyper-threading, giving you 4 theoretical cores for good multitasking. Yeah, it's not as cool as the i5 or the powerful i7. But for the price, this processor is more than enough for the average user. The i3-3xx5 processors have the newer HD 4000 graphics which are good enough for most Steam games. If you want to build a cheap student or business PC and play light games, this processor is perfect for you. I dropped this in the mITX build and just used the integrated graphics for my little brother who needed a computer for school but likes to play games. He likes it very much. And to be honest, I kind of didn't want to give it to him after I finished building it. great processor too Tl;dr Solid processor, decent graphics, good price. Lots of horsepower for most people.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
