Cores
Cores	Two cores and four threads with Hyper-Threading. Multiplier unlock status is omitted because the bounded exact source pass did not establish it.	Raptor Lake; 8 Performance-cores with Hyper-Threading and 16 Efficient-cores
Clocks
Clocks	2.93 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-core base 3.2 GHz and turbo 5.7 GHz; E-core base 2.4 GHz and turbo 4.5 GHz; Turbo Boost Max 3.0 5.9 GHz; Thermal Velocity Boost up to 6.2 GHz

Built-in graphics	Yes	Yes
Graphics
Graphics	Intel 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; 300 MHz base and 1.65 GHz maximum dynamic clock

Memory support
Memory support	Two channels of DDR3-1066/1333 in Intel’s exact-model comparison chart.	Up to 192 GB; two channels; DDR5-5600 or DDR4-3200; ECC support depends on the motherboard and configuration
PCIe
PCIe	16 PCIe 2.0 lanes, as described in bit-tech’s exact review.	20 CPU lanes; PCIe 5.0 and 4.0
Chipsets
Chipsets	H55, 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 recommends Z790 or Z690 with the latest BIOS
Process
Process	32 nm CPU and separate 45 nm graphics die, as described by bit-tech’s exact review.	Intel 7
Cooler
Cooler	Retail boxed heatsink and fan confirmed by the exact Newegg listing and Phoronix’s exact-model retail sample inspection.	Maximum operating temperature 100 °C; maker maximum turbo power 253 W. The 320 W Extreme profiles used in launch reviews are separate operating configurations.
