welcome to my unboxing and first look at Intel's core i3
3220 so a core i3320 i know Intel's
part numbers can be a little bit hard to decipher but the most important thing in
this part number is that three right at the beginning because that means this is
a core i3 a low end processor that is based on their third generation ivy
bridge architecture now in the enthusiast space for the 3570k
and the 3770k there have been some complaints
that the igp um or rather the ipc improvements so how
many uh how much performance per clock we're getting compared to the previous
generation sandy bridge is offset by the
lower overall clock speeds that can be achieved in overclocking however with
these lower end processors based on that Intel's introducing them at
equivalent price points compared to the sandy bridge i3s and i5s that are being
replaced putting in better integrated graphics which means faster video
transcoding and well better graphics if
you're actually running games off of the GPU that's built into the CPU and the
fact that we're getting about a 10 clock for clock performance increase
i think it's pretty much a no-brainer if you're building a low-end machine you
want Intel inside then you know don't go
with the last generation 2000 series go with the new generation ivy bridge chips
because since there was no overclocking on the previous generation i3s or the
new generation i3s you just want all the performance you can get out of it and at
stock speeds and stock voltages they run extremely cool inside the box you get
the CPU itself which is an lga 1155 CPU compatible with pretty much every lga
1155 chipset out there that's modern so your z77 your b75 um your h70 h whatever
it is i don't know okay lg 1155 socket uh here slick is helpfully handing us an
lg 1155 socket motherboard which he is about to install the CPU one so i'll
save him the trouble we'll do a quick CPU installation guide make sure you
line up the notches with the notches and then
carefully pull down the ARM no we're not doing that you'll have to do that and then you
would normally okay there's bolts running through this motherboard for an aftermarket cooler but you'd normally
use one of these which is also included with the sticker and the three year
warranty and the box thank you for checking out this unboxing and first
