Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i3-3217UE is a processor originating from the era of the Ivy Bridge U architecture. It was manufactured using the advanced 22 nm manufacturing process, which gave it remarkable energy efficiency at the time. This was particularly advantageous for slim notebooks and smaller computer systems.

Its design allowed for equipping compact devices with sufficient computing power. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 was another feature. This graphics solution was quite useful for everyday tasks. You could watch movies smoothly and use simple office applications with it. The processor provided a solid base for devices designed to function reliably while consuming little power.

Even today, this Core i3 can still serve surprisingly well for basic tasks like surfing or emailing. We were honestly a little surprised at how neatly it performs. The 3 MB Level 3 Cache supported the smooth execution of applications.
  • Energy-efficient and ideal for compact devices
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 for everyday tasks
  • Still well-suited for basic tasks
  • 3 MB Level 3 Cache
