CPU Intel i3 540 TRAY 2 Core 4Threads 3.1GHz Clarkdale Socket LGA 1156

𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗸𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗶:

The Intel Core i3-540 was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in January 2010. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the Clarkdale architecture with Socket 1156. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 4 threads. Core i3-540 has 4MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.066 GHz. Intel is building the Core i3-540 on a 32 nm production process using 382 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Core i3-540, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 73 W, the Core i3-540 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1333 MHz, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, Core i3-540 uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor features the Intel HD integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i3-540, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
