Intel Core i3-2330M Mobile processor - FF8062700846606
Specifications
Intel Mobile Core i3-2330M is a dual-core microprocessor for mid-class notebooks. The processor was spotted in specifications of HP ProBook 4530s and ThinkPad Edge E520 laptops at the beginning of May 2011, and it was launched in June 2011 along with BGA version of the chip. The i3-2330M is built on Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, that combines CPU cores, graphics processing unit (GPU), memory controller, Direct Media Interface, and PCI Express interface. The microprocessor has two cores, operating at 2.2 GHz, and uses three-level cache architecture, where each CPU core has dedicated 64 KB first level and 256 KB second level caches, and both cores share 3 MB third level cache. The L3 cache is also shared with the graphics processing unit. The GPU is HD-capable, and supports 3D acceleration and such video processing features, as Quick Sync, Clear Video HD, and InTru 3D. On-chip memory controller has two channels, and works with DDR3 memory. The CPU cores support Intel 64, SIMD streaming extensions up to SSE4, and AVX instructions. Intel i3-2330M incorporates VT-x virtualization and Hyper-Threading technologies. The latter feature is especially useful for multi-threading applications, as the Hyper-Threading may provide up to 20% performance boost when executing more than 2 threads simultaneously. While the Core i3-2330M supports a handful of instruction extensions and technologies, it doesn't support all of them. For instance, the CPU does not have Turbo Boost and Vpro technologies, and does not incorporate AES instructions.
Intel i3-2330M has several low-power states, useful for saving battery power when one or both cores are idle. To conserve power in operational mode, the microprocessor uses Enhanced SpeedStep technology. This feature lowers processor frequency and core voltage, thus reducing power consumption. Thermal Design Power of this model is 35 Watt.
The Core i3-2330M is manufactured in micro-PGA package,
and works in socket G2 motherboards. The CPU in this package can be easily
replaced or upgraded, or can be used to upgrade slower Celerons and
Pentiums in similar package. Main advantage of Core i3 CPUs over Mobile
Pentiums is higher clock frequency, that directly translates to higher
performance, and Hyper-Threading technology. Compared to Mobile
Celerons, this i3-2330M also has 50% larger size of L3 cache.
