Intel Core i3 i3-4100 (4th Gen) i3-4160 Dual-core (2 Core) 3.60 GHz Processor

The Intel Core i3-4160 3.6 GHz Processor is equipped with 2 cores and 4 threads and can be installed in the FCLGA1150 socket. This processer comes equipped with 3MB of cache. Connect a variety of peripherals to a PC equipped with this processor as it supports PCIe revision 3.0 in x16, x8, and x4 configurations. In addition, this processor includes Idle States, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, Thermal Monitoring Technologies, and more. ECC Memory Supported* ECC memory is a type of system memory that can detect and correct common kinds of internal data corruption. Note that ECC memory requires both processor and chipset support. Intel Quick Sync Video Intel Quick Sync Video delivers fast conversion of video for portable media players, online sharing, and video editing and authoring. Intel InTru 3D Technology Intel InTru 3D Technology provides stereoscopic 3-D Blu-ray playback in full 1080p resolution over HDMI 1.4 and premium audio. Intel Wireless Display Intel Wireless Display is technology that enables wireless streaming of movies, photos, websites, and more from an Ultrabook or PC to an HDTV. Intel Clear Video HD Technology Intel Clear Video HD Technology delivers High Definition quality playback for a rich entertainment experience. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology* Intel Hyper-Threading Technology delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner. Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x)* Intel Virtualization Technology allows one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)* Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables, also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for memory-intensive virtualized applications. Extended Page Tables in Intel Virtualization Technology platforms reduce the memory and power overhead costs, and increase battery life through hardware optimization of page table management. Intel 64* Intel 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop, and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software. Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4GB of both virtual and physical memory. Idle States Idle States (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operational state, meaning that the CPU is doing useful work. C1 is the first idle state, C2 the second, and so on, where more power saving actions are taken for numerically higher C-states. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as Separation between Voltage and Frequency Changes, and Clock Partitioning and Recovery. Thermal Monitoring Technologies Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects the core's temperature, and the thermal management features reduce package power consumption (and thereby temperature, when required) in order to remain within normal operating limits. Execute Disable Bit* Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious-code attacks, and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network. AES New Instructions Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (AES-NI) are a set of instructions that enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption. AES-NI are valuable for a wide range of cryptographic applications, such as applications that perform bulk encryption/decryption, authentication, random number generation, and authenticated encryption. Secure Key Intel Secure Key consists of a digital random number generator that creates truly random numbers to strengthen encryption algorithms. Note:*These features may not be available on all computing systems.
