Dual-core 3.9 GHz desktop processor

The Intel Core i3-7100 is a dual-core desktop processor with four threads running at 3.9 GHz. It uses the LGA 1151 socket and includes Intel HD Graphics 630 with a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.1 GHz. The chip has a 51 W thermal design power and is supplied without a cooling device.

Suits basic office builds.

This processor suits entry-level office PCs, home-theatre systems or lightweight web browsing where low power draw and integrated graphics are priorities. Builders needing more cores for video editing, modern gaming or heavy multitasking should look at higher-tier parts with six or more cores.

LGA 1151 socket and DDR4 or DDR3L memory support

The CPU fits motherboards with an LGA 1151 socket and supports DDR4 at 2400 MT/s or DDR3L at 1600 MT/s. Matching the socket and memory type is the single specification that decides whether this is the right part for a given build.
