welcome to my unboxing and first look at Intel's core i3
0:11
3220 so a core i3320 i know Intel's
0:15
part numbers can be a little bit hard to decipher but the most important thing in
0:20
this part number is that three right at the beginning because that means this is
0:24
a core i3 a low end processor that is based on their third generation ivy
0:29
bridge architecture now in the enthusiast space for the 3570k
0:34
and the 3770k there have been some complaints
0:38
that the igp um or rather the ipc improvements so how
0:43
many uh how much performance per clock we're getting compared to the previous
0:47
generation sandy bridge is offset by the
0:51
lower overall clock speeds that can be achieved in overclocking however with
0:55
these lower end processors based on that Intel's introducing them at
1:00
equivalent price points compared to the sandy bridge i3s and i5s that are being
1:04
replaced putting in better integrated graphics which means faster video
1:09
transcoding and well better graphics if
1:12
you're actually running games off of the GPU that's built into the CPU and the
1:16
fact that we're getting about a 10 clock for clock performance increase
1:20
i think it's pretty much a no-brainer if you're building a low-end machine you
1:23
want Intel inside then you know don't go
1:26
with the last generation 2000 series go with the new generation ivy bridge chips
1:30
because since there was no overclocking on the previous generation i3s or the
1:34
new generation i3s you just want all the performance you can get out of it and at
1:38
stock speeds and stock voltages they run extremely cool inside the box you get
1:42
the CPU itself which is an lga 1155 CPU compatible with pretty much every lga
1:47
1155 chipset out there that's modern so your z77 your b75 um your h70 h whatever
1:55
it is i don't know okay lg 1155 socket uh here slick is helpfully handing us an
2:00
lg 1155 socket motherboard which he is about to install the CPU one so i'll
2:04
save him the trouble we'll do a quick CPU installation guide make sure you
2:08
line up the notches with the notches and then
2:12
carefully pull down the ARM no we're not doing that you'll have to do that and then you
2:17
would normally okay there's bolts running through this motherboard for an aftermarket cooler but you'd normally
2:22
use one of these which is also included with the sticker and the three year
2:25
warranty and the box thank you for checking out this unboxing and first
