The integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD (GMA HD) graphics card is known to be clocked up to 500 MHz and should be clearly faster than the old GMA 4500MHD. In the i3-330M Intel has deactivated these new AES functions. The 32nm cpu cores of the Westmere generation can also process some new instructions to accelerate AES encryptions. It should handle all applications well, but some demanding games could profit from a faster CPU. The speed should be at least as fast as a 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo and therefore the i3-330M positions itself in the middle class (lower middle class regarding Core i CPUs). The performance in synthetic benchmarks is mostly on par with a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo P8600 (due to the improved hyperthreading). Both are on a separate die that is still manufactured in 45nm whereas the CPU die is already manufactured in the new 32nm process. Hyperthreading enables the Dual Core CPU to handle 4 threads at once (for a better usage of the pipeline).Ī feature of the new Core i3-330M is the integrated graphics card called Intel HD Graphics or GMA HD and a DDR3 1066 MHz memory controller. The difference to the Core i5-430M is the lacking Turbo Boost overclocking and the slower core speed. Each core is based on the Nehalem (Westmere) micro-architecture. The Intel Core i3-330M is a lower-middle class dual core CPU for laptops and clocks with 2.16 GHz.
