Intel Core i3-4360

Intel Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductor circuits. Its success and innovation bear fruit in the form of a new generation of CPU architecture – Intel Haswell Refresh.

The fourth generation of Core processors represents an evolutionary step named Tock. Unlike Tick (Ivy Bridge), it does not bring only minor changes along with enhancements of the production process, but very significant innovations in the entire core design. The processor gets the Haswell New Instruction set and the Iris chip ushers in a new era of GPUs.

Haswell relies on revolutionary 3D transistors and utilizes the highly advanced 22nm production technology. The current technology hit its imaginary ceiling, but using 3D transistors leads to more than a 10% performance boost. Advanced Power Saving mode ensures significantly lower power consumption and environmentally friendly operation.
 

Intel Core i3-4360 uses the new 1150 socket. The processor is perfectly complemented by integrated HD Graphics 4600 with an increased frequency of a nice 1150 MHz. Thanks to the performance increase of up to 100%, it leaves older chips far behind, and thanks to Direct3D 11.1 support, it can easily handle latest and demanding games as well.
