- Dual core
Reasons to buy the Core i3 3220
| | Much newer manufacturing process 22 nm | | Has a built-in GPU Yes |
| | More cores 2 | | More threads 4 |
by Don-Woligroski (Oct, 2012)But because the Ivy Bridge design enjoys far superior IPC than AMD's best effort, each core is made all the more effective, despite a substantial frequency deficit.
