Overview
ReleasedJanuary 2010January 2024
Cores and clocks
Cores214 (6 performance, 8 efficiency)
Threads420
Base clock2.93 GHz2.6 GHz
Boost clock–5 GHz
L3 cache4 MB24 MB
CoresTwo cores and four threads with Hyper-Threading. Multiplier unlock status is omitted because the bounded exact source pass did not establish it.6 P-cores and 8 E-cores; 20 threads. ComputerBase identifies its tested sample as C0 Alder Lake silicon within the marketed Raptor Lake Refresh generation.
Clocks2.93 GHz base; no Turbo Boost, explicitly listed as not applicable in Intel’s 7 January 2010 launch table. The same release states that the new family is immediately available and names this model.P-cores: 2.6 GHz base, up to 5.0 GHz turbo. E-cores: 1.9 GHz base, up to 3.7 GHz turbo.
Cache4 MB shared L3 cache.24 MB Intel Smart Cache (L3); 11.5 MB total L2.
Graphics and AI
Built-in graphicsYesYes
GraphicsIntel HD Graphics at 733 MHz in Intel’s exact-model original launch table, also corroborated by bit-tech and the exact retail listing. The later Intel Core i3 comparison chart prints 773 MHz, conflicting with those sources.Intel UHD Graphics 770; 32 execution units; up to 1.55 GHz; Quick Sync Video; up to four displays.

Memory supportTwo channels of DDR3-1066/1333 in Intel’s exact-model comparison chart.Up to 192 GB; two channels; DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200; 76.8 GB/s; ECC supported with an appropriate platform.
PCIe16 PCIe 2.0 lanes, as described in bit-tech’s exact review.PCIe 5.0 and 4.0; 20 CPU lanes: 1×16+4 or 2×8+4; DMI 4.0 ×8.
ChipsetsH55, H57 or Q57 provides display outputs for integrated graphics; compatible P55 boards can use a discrete graphics card, subject to BIOS support (bit-tech).Intel 600- and 700-series motherboards; appropriate BIOS support required.
Process32 nm CPU and separate 45 nm graphics die, as described by bit-tech’s exact review.Intel 7; Raptor Lake Refresh generation. ComputerBase identifies the tested sample as C0 Alder Lake silicon. 45 × 37.5 mm package; 100°C maximum junction temperature.
CoolerRetail boxed heatsink and fan confirmed by the exact Newegg listing and Phoronix’s exact-model retail sample inspection.Intel Laminar RM1 included with the boxed processor (Intel support).
