00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:07.680
so with the release of the new core I3 and core i5 dual core processors Intel

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.160
has made their product line potentially one of the most confusing out there

00:00:09.639 --> 00:00:15.639
today but I'm going to try and clear that up a little bit so today I've got

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:22.199
the I3 540 so this is the faster of the two i3s that are available at launch and

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:26.359
what the I3 540 is is it's very similar

00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:28.800
to the socket 1156 core i7s and core i5s

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:34.520
with a couple key differences first of all an i

00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:38.040
3500 series is a dual core processor

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:39.879
with hyperthreading okay so it has four

00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:43.160
logical processors even though it only has two physical processors this

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:46.600
actually provides some real world benefit in terms of any sort of

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:51.239
multi-threaded tasks that you're going to be performing like video editing

00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:58.239
stuff like that okay what it doesn't have compared to the new dual core Core

00:00:53.760 --> 00:01:00.359
i5 600 series is turbo boost and turbo

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:05.799
boost is an incredibly important feature for the core I series processors because

00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:10.799
it takes that stock frequency which in this case is 3.06 GHz and in some case

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.080
it boosts it up as much as three speed bins depending what you're doing with

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:23.280
the processor okay so that's one reason to go for a core i5 500 series versus an

00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:26.040
I3 or sorry 600 series versus an I3 500

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.880
series now when you step up to the Core i5700 Series the difference you're

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:35.759
looking at is you lose hyperth threading but you gain two physical cores so

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:40.159
that's a quad core processor so even though it doesn't have hyperthreading

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:42.560
it's a much faster multi-threaded

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:45.560
machine compared to the Core i5 600 series which are dual cores with

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:51.280
hyperthreading and compared to the core I3 I think I've rambled enough now I

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:54.960
think the point should be pretty much

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:58.280
this the core I3 is a Core Series

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:00.600
processor that has hyperthreading but no

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:05.119
turbo boost okay there we go let's just open this thing and be done with it okay

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:09.520
so inside we're going to find our Intel warranty card installation instructions

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:12.480
and Intel Inside logo label so there's your little core I3 sticker that you

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.280
want to stick on your case or wherever it is you want to put it then inside we

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:22.560
will also find a CPU we'll have a look at that later and a heat sink now I

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:27.680
can't believe how wussy Intel has made these heat sinks I mean like seriously

00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:28.519
for reference here's the heat sink on a

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:34.480
on a 5750 like low-end video card you look at

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:38.000
that that's like the same size pretty much might even be bigger on the video

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:43.440
card so I mean something that I've recommended to a lot of customers who

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.319
are buying uh low-end core i5s and i3s

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:48.239
that come with this heat sink is to just grab an aftermarket heat sink just grab

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.159
a cheap one like an Arctic cooling freezer 7 Pro rev 2 it's a great little

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:57.840
heat sink and it'll outperform this especially if you want to do overclocking now that's not to be down

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.560
on the Intel engineering team because a big part of why you can use such a small

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:06.920
heat sink on this processor is because it is so efficient it uses very little

00:03:04.519 --> 00:03:11.720
power it outputs very little heat and it will not die under the cooling of this

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:16.040
little tiny fan heat sink it's just that if you want the best temperatures and

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:19.080
again if you are overclocking or pushing the limits of your processor then you

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.080
want to make sure that you throw some better cooling on it that's all so here

00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:28.920
you can see the core I3 itself like I said before this is a socket 1156 chip

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:30.480
or LGA 1156 I should say so that means

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:36.200
that on the bottom of the ship you'll find 1,156 little pads that will make contact

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:40.920
with your motherboard okay now also launching with the core I3 and the new

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:47.760
Core i5 dual cores are the h55 motherboards now the biggest difference

00:03:43.959 --> 00:03:51.200
okay between an h55 and a p55 is support

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:53.519
for Onboard video but the Onboard video

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:57.640
is not actually on the motherboard it's on this chip so the new dual cores all

00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:03.120
have integrated video processing units right

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:07.159
under the heat spreader there so that means that if you take a core I3 or a

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:13.840
new Core i5 dual core and you install it on a p55 board it will work but the p-55

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:18.759
board won't have support for the integrated Graphics chip that is on this

00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:22.880
processor so you won't actually have a VGA port to plug your monitor into or a

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:28.400
DVI port or whatever else you need likewise if you take a core i7 1156 chip

00:04:25.880 --> 00:04:32.880
or a core i5 quad core and plug it into an h55 board you'll have those ports on

00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:38.160
the back of the motherboard like a DVI port but you won't actually have a

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:41.720
graphics processor on the CPU to drive it so it won't actually work so that's

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:45.120
another tidbit that is really interesting about the new core i3s and

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:50.680
core i5 dual course thank you for checking out my unboxing of the core I3

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.680
