Based on 22-nm microarchitecture, Intel’s third-generation dual-core processors house the processor, L3 cache, Intel HD Graphics 4000 processor, and fast 1600MHz memory controller on a single chip. These processors feature Turbo Boost technology that automatically boosts the processor clock speed based on workload, giving you extra processing power when you need it. And Hyper-Threading technology allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core. This enables the processor to deliver faster performance by spreading tasks more evenly across a greater number of cores.
