Intel i3-7300Processor desktop processor

SKU CH-7VGS-60RWG MPN i3-7300Processor

Dual-core desktop processor at 4 GHz with 4 MB L3 cache, Intel HD 600 graphics and 51 W TDP for Socket H4 LGA-1151 motherboards

  • Thermal Design Power51W
  • Hyper-threading boosts multi-tasking on dual-core design
  • 51 W TDP keeps power draw low for compact builds
  • 4 MB L3 cache speeds repeated data access
  • Integrated HD 600 graphics handles display without add-in card
  • LGA-1151 socket enables easy drop-in installation

Dual-core desktop processor

The Intel Core i3-7300 is a dual-core desktop CPU with a base frequency of 4 GHz. It targets budget-conscious users who need responsive performance for everyday computing and light multitasking. Hyper-threading allows each core to handle two threads simultaneously. The 51 W thermal design power keeps heat output modest.

LGA 1151 socket and integrated graphics

The processor fits the LGA 1151 socket, enabling installation without soldering onto compatible motherboards. Onboard Intel HD 600 graphics provide display output without a discrete card. A 14 nm manufacturing process supports the low power envelope. Retail packaging includes the processor in a protective box.

4 GHz clock speed decides suitability

The fixed 4 GHz clock speed is the key figure that determines whether this chip meets your workload requirements. It delivers consistent single-thread performance for office applications and web browsing. Buyers needing higher multi-thread throughput should consider processors with more cores or higher frequencies. The 4 MB L3 cache assists with frequently accessed data.

Questions about this item

What does the Socket H4 LGA-1151 interface mean for installation and what chipsets does it work with?

The Socket H4 LGA-1151 interface lets the processor drop into the board without soldering; pairing it with a compatible motherboard is required for the system to function

What physical clearance does the 1.5-inch square package need inside the case?

The 1.5-inch by 1.5-inch footprint fits the standard LGA-1151 socket keep-out zone, so any case that accepts an ATX or micro-ATX board with that socket will have room

How is the retail-boxed i3-7300 installed, and which step do builders often skip?

Align the notches, lower the CPU gently into the LGA-1151 socket, close the retention lever, then apply thermal paste and mount the cooler — skipping the paste or overtightening the cooler are the common mistakes
