DELHI: Intel has launched several desktop and mobile Core i3 and Pentium processors.
The mobile processors are named Pentium 3825U, Core i3-5015U and Core i3-5020U while the desktop processors are Pentium G3260, Pentium G3260T, Pentium G3460T, Pentium G3470, Core i3-4170, Core i3-4170T and Core i3-4370T.
The Pentium 3825U, Core i3-5015U and Core i3-5020U mobile processors are priced at $161 (roughly Rs.10, 000), $275 (roughly Rs.17, 100), and $281 (roughly Rs.17, 500) respectively.
The desktop processors like the Pentium G3260, Pentium G3260T, Pentium G3460T, Pentium G3470, Core i3-4170, Core i3-4170T and Core i3-4370T are priced at $64 (roughly Rs.4,000), $64, $75 (roughly Rs.4,700), $86 (roughly Rs.5,300), $117 (roughly Rs.7,300), $117 and $138 (roughly Rs.8,600) respectively.
NDTV Gadgets reported that the mobile processors are based on 14nm Broad well architecture. Featuring 15W Thermal Design Power ratings all the models in this category are have Hyper-Threading technology that enables each processor core to execute two threads simultaneously.
The new seven desktops processors have significantly different specifications- the four Pentium-branded processors feature two cores, Intel HD Graphics and 3MB of L2 cache, the three Core i3 processors feature two cores with Hyper-Threading. Clocked at 3.3GHz, the Intel Pentium G3260 has a 53W TDP rating. The Pentium G3260T is clocked at 2.9GHz and sports a 35W TDP rating while the Pentium G3460T is clocked at 3GHz with a 35W TDP rating. The Pentium G3470 is clocked at 3.6GHz and has a 53W TDP rating.
As for the three new Core i3 processors, the Core i3-4170 and Core i3-4170T are clocked at 3.7GHz and 3.2GHz respectively.
