Intel introduces a bunch of new Core i3 and Pentium CPUs

About a month ago we reported that Intel was planning to release a bunch of new processors this summer including a number of Pentium and Core i3 processors. Well, this has finally happened and Intel now offers a number of new desktop and mobile processors.

The new desktop processors include four new Core i3 and Pentium models that you can see here:

  • Core i3-4370 (dual-core, 3.8 GHz, 4 MB L3 cache) – USD 149;
  • Core i3-4160 (dual-core, 3.6 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) – USD 117;
  • Core i3-4360T (dual-core, 3.2 GHz, 4 MB L3 cache) – USD 138;
  • Core i3-4160T (dual-core, 3.1 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) – USD 117;
  • Pentium G3460 (dual-core, 3.5 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) – USD 86;
  • Pentium G3250 (dual-core, 3.2 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) – USD 64;
  • Pentium G3450T (dual-core, 2.9 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) – USD 75;
  • Pentium G3250T (dual-core, 2.8 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) – USD 64.

 

The mobile CPU segment has also gotten a number of chips but they include Core i7, Core i5, Pentium and Celeron processors too. Here’s a quick list:

  • Core i7-4980HQ (quad-core, 2.8 GHz, 6 MB L3 cache) – USD 623;
  • Core i7-4870HQ (quad-core, 2.5 GHz, 6 MB L3 cache) – USD 434;
  • Core i7-4770HQ (quad-core, 2.2 GHz, 6 MB L3 cache) – USD 434;
  • Core i5-4210H (dual-core, 2.9 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) – USD 225;
  • Core i7-4578U (dual-core, 3.0 GHz, 4 MB L3 cache) – USD 426;
  • Core i5-4308U (dual-core, 2.8 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) – USD 315;
  • Core i5-4278U (dual-core, 2.6 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) – USD 315;
  • Pentium N3540 (quad-core, no Hyper-Threading, 2.16 GHz, 2 MB L3 cache) – USD 161;
  • Celeron N2940 (quad-core, no Hyper-Threading, 1.83 GHz, 2 MB L3 cache) – USD 107;
  • Celeron N2840 (dual-core, no Hyper-Threading, 2.16 GHz, 1 МB cache) – USD 107;
  • Celeron N2808 (dual-core, no Hyper-Threading, 1.58 GHz, 1 MB cache) – USD 107.

 

Unfortunately there are no changes in the new processors except 100 MHz more here and there. This release is not a surprise as Intel usually updates its product list in mid-summer so that customers can get new chips for the back-to-school and after-vacation seasons, which start not far from now.
