Intel Core i3-4170
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i3-4170 is a processor based on the established Haswell S architecture. It was manufactured using the 22 nm process. This ensured a good mix of performance and energy efficiency at the time. We see that this chip still reliably performs its service for standard tasks today.

One of its great strengths is the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400. This graphics card often saves you from purchasing a separate GPU. As a result, the costs for your system often remain manageable. This is absolutely sufficient for media consumption, browsing, or typical office applications.

With its 3 MB Level 3 Cache, the Intel Core i3-4170 offers a noticeable acceleration. This improves responsiveness in many everyday programs. It also supports PCIe 3.0, which ensures solid data transfer rates. This processor was a very reasonable choice at the time of its release. It was aimed at users who valued reliability.

It also offered a very good price-performance ratio. Even today, it forms a stable basis for simple computer systems. It shows how durable good hardware can be.
