Core i3 3240 CPU (3.4GHz, 2 Core, 4 Threads, 3MB Cache, LGA1155 Socket, Box)

Summary

• 3rd Generation Intel Core i3 Processor: Enjoy rich visuals plus an automatic burst of speed when you need it on your PC. Get an automatic burst of speed whenever you need it for performance that adapts to you. Intel Turbo Boost Technology: Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it, and increased energy efficiency when you don't.
• Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
• Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT Technology) delivers thread-level parallelism on each processor resulting in more efficient use of processor resources-higher processing throughput-and improved performance on the multi-threaded software of today and tomorrow.
