Intel Core i3 8th Gen

Core i3-8300 4-Core 3.7GHz

The Intel Core i3-8300 4-Core 3.7GHz has 4 cores that run at a clock speed of 3.7GHz.

It has an L3 cache size of 6MB and an L2 cache size of 1024KB.

7.1

Cores	4	More cores means more threads and therefore more processes can be run simultaneously
Speed	3.7GHz	Clock frequency indicates processor speed, but is only reliable in comparisons between CPUs of the same family
Codename	Coffee Lake	The code name given by the manufacturers
Release Date	03 Apr 2018	The more recent the release, the more likely the CPU will receive up-to-date manufacturer support
TDP	65W	The lower the TDP, the less power the CPU requires to run and thus the more efficient it is and the less heat it creates
L2 Cache	1024KB	After L1 cache, L2 is utilized for slower (but still very fast) data access
L3 Cache	6MB	The L3 cache is the largest CPU cache, but still provides very quick access to data
Lithography	14nm	The smaller the lithographic technology used, the less power is required to run the CPU, and the less heat is created during intense use
CPU Socket	LGA 1151	The motherboard socket and CPU socket should match to indicate the CPU is compatible with the motherboard and will fit into it
Unlocked Multiplier	no	An unlocked clock multiplier means you can adjust the multiplier for an overclocking speed boost

Core i3-8300 4-Core 3.7GHz compatibility review

Overall, the Intel Core i3-8300 4-Core 3.7GHz has exceptional performance. Its 4 cores clocked at 3.7 GHz provide extremely swift processing speeds and allow multiple processes to be run simultaneously.

The CPU is over 2 years old, meaning it is based on aging technologies and will not have the level of support that you would find in a newer processor.

Created with lithographic technology sized at 14 nanometers, the Core i3-8300 4-Core 3.7GHz is built for extreme speeds and efficiency, and with a Thermal Design Power of 65W the amount of power necessary to run is not excessive.
