Intel Core i3-4170 3.7 GHz Dual-Core Processor

Description

The Core i3-4170 3.7 GHz Dual-Core Processor from Intel is the fourth generation of the Core i3 product line that is now built using Haswell architecture. This processor features a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and as with many Haswell technologies, comes with features such as Hyper-Threading. This processor also features two cores with four threads in an FCLGA1150 socket and has 3MB of cache memory. Having two cores allows the processor to run multiple programmes simultaneously without slowing down the system, while the four threads allow applications to complete tasks sooner by working in parallel.

This Intel Core i3-4170 3.7 GHz Dual-Core Processor is well suited for users who are interested in general-use tasks, such as Internet browsing, chequing E-mail, document creation and editing, multimedia playback, and more. This processor also supports up to 32GB of DDR3 and DDR3L 1333/1600 MHz RAM, has integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400, and has SSE 4.1/4.2 & AVX 2.0 Extensions, as well as AES New Instructions.

Features

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, like its predecessor, Intel Clear Video Technology, is a suite of image decode and processing technologies built into the integrated processor graphics that help improve video playback, delivering cleaner, sharper images with more natural, accurate, and vivid colours, and a clear and stable video picture. Intel Clear Video HD Technology adds video quality enhancements for richer colour and more realistic skin tones

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 optimisation 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

Intel Identity Protection Technology

Intel Identity Protection Technology is a built-in security token technology that helps provide a simple, tamper-resistant method for protecting access to your online customer and business data from threats and fraud. Intel IPT provides a hardware-based proof of a unique user's PC to websites, financial institutions, and network services; providing verification that it is not malware attempting to login. Intel IPT can be a key component in two-factor authentication solutions to protect your information at websites and business log-ins

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

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
