welcome to lus techtips today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the Intel core I3
2105 now this is a low-end processor so
it might not seem like it would be that interesting to you but it is and I will
tell you why this is part of their second
generation uh core ey series processors
so that means that it uses the sandybridge core and it has integrated
graphics on every single one whether it's a dual core or quad core this one
in particular is a dual core but I want you guys to come in here and have a
quick look at this so you got two cores you do have hyperthreading so that means
you've got four threads Intel HD graphics
3000 that's the interesting part so this is a low-end chip with a high-end
integrated Graphics cuz remember the second generation core series processors
have either hd2000 or HD 3,000 onboard
graphics and the only time we've seen HD 3000 in the past is with the K series
chips and quite frankly if you're buying a high performance hyperthreaded turbo
boost quad core processor what on Earth are you doing using your onboard
Graphics in most cases so this is the first skew that has a mix that that I
believe makes the most sense which is the low n CPU with the higher end
onboard Graphics so highend onboard Graphics means a couple of things first
of of all it means better performance in well games obviously it's still
integrated Graphics but it's on the CPU better performance in games it also
means better performance in um the the
HD graphics accelerated functionality such as Lucid virtue which is uh far
more interesting in my opinion than necessarily the performance of an Intel
HD 3000 graphic solution very very cool
technology I'm going to actually be doing a video on virtue very shortly but
I I I did some media conversions with it very impressive it's so fast okay we've
got an integrated memory controller with support for up to dual Channel DDR3
memory and a three-year limited warranty so this is all pretty much stuff we're used to now I'll show you guys the
product itself really quickly here but uh there's not going to be that much
interesting we've got a core I3 sticker we've got an Intel certified heat sink
solution so this is a very low power CPU
this particular little guy is rated at 65 Watts TDP so you got a really thin
thermal solution no copper slug necessary in the middle and you've got a
nice four pin pwm fan there and last but not least look at this environmentally
friendly packaging there's a little bit of plastic but overall not bad
definitely improving so there we have it
the core I3 2105 in all of its Glory it
fits in your standard LGA 1155 socket do not try to put this in an 1156 board it
will not work so the main reason for me unboxing this is actually because I want
to put it up head-to-head against AMD's
Apu so here I have an A8 Apu which is a
four core processor with uh discret level graphics and then this is Intel's
price similar two core processor also
with the highest end Intel onboard Graphics now bear in mind Intel CPUs
have much higher performance per core than AMD CPUs this one does have the
advantage of hyperthreading but this guy actually has for physical course so I
think that's going to be an interesting comparison which I will also be doing in
the near future as well so don't forget to subscribe to L techtips for more
unboxings reviews and other computer videos I'll show the box that's more
interesting
