Description
The Intel Core i3 4160 processor is based on the Haswell microarchitecture (2014). It has 2 cores with 4 Threads. More cores provide increased power for programs that take advantage of a larger number of cores. Threads allow the processor to execute multiple applications simultaneously, performing tasks faster. Its maximum frequency is 3.6 Ghz.
The Cache memory it incorporates is 3 MB. Cache memory is a very important feature as the larger it is, the less time the processor requires to retrieve data from the computer's main memory, significantly increasing performance.
It has the 1150 Socket and will need to be hosted on a motherboard with a corresponding Socket. Finally, a cooler is not included. You will need to purchase a separate cooler for the processor, which is necessary.
The "Core i3" series can smoothly perform everyday tasks such as internet browsing, text editing, and light gaming.
