Intel Core i3-2370M
The Core i3-2370M is a 2 core CPU from Intel released in 2012. This chip has a bad overall score with 974 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is an average processor for gaming, with a score of 1906 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Core i3-2370M scores 727 points and 697 points respectively. Indeed, this is a bad rating for very heavy workloads.
The Core i3-2370M has 2 cores and 4 threads. This CPU makes use of simultaneous multithreading technology to improve performance on parallel tasks. Each physical CPU core is divided into multiple logical processors. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 2.4 GHz.
As for memory, the Core i3-2370M makes use of DDR3-1066 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. It can accommodate a maximum of 16 GiB of memory. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 2 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled. Error correcting memory is not supported on this processor.
This CPU has fast connectivity with support for PCI-Express Gen 2. The faster the PCIe link, the better. This allows for better performance with GPUs and NVME SSDs. It has a total of 16 PCIe lanes.
Power and thermals for the Intel Core i3-2370M CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 35 watts. This measures the amount of heat the processor produces when running at full load. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
