Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i3-2130 offers a solid foundation for everyday computing tasks. It is based on the then groundbreaking Sandy Bridge S architecture. It was manufactured using the proven 32-nanometer process. This contributed significantly to good energy efficiency. A key feature of the processor is the integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000.

It eliminates the need for a separate graphics card for many applications. This graphics solution is absolutely sufficient for common office tasks. Surfing the Internet and playing media are also easy. The processor has 3 MB Level 3 cache. This noticeably speeds up data processing. A maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s ensures smooth data exchange.

Support for PCIe 2.0 also offers flexible connectivity options for expansion cards. Although this model has been on the market for several years, its continued reliability is surprising. We were pleased with how stably it still performs its services. For systems that are mainly intended for basic applications, the Intel Core i3-2130 continues to show its strengths.

It remains a well-considered choice for cost-effective and stable computer solutions.
