Features

The Intel Core i3-2120 is based on the 32nm 'Sandy Bridge' architecture and is a 3.3GHz dual-core processor with Hyper-Threading. The CPU does have a GPU on it and that would be the Intel HD Graphics 2000, which runs between 850MHz and 1100MHz thanks to a dynamic clock cycle. The multiplier is locked on the Core i3-2120 processor as it is not part of the 'K-series' of processors that are aimed at enthusiasts with unlocked multipliers.

  • Processor Number: i3-2120
  • Supported Socket: LGA1155
  • # of Cores: 2
  • # of Threads: 4
  • Clock Speed: 3.3 GHz
  • Intel Smart Cache: 3 MB
  • Bus/Core Ratio: 33
  • Instruction Set: 64-bit
  • Instruction Set Extensions: SSE4.1/4.2, AVX
  • Turbo Core: No
  • Hyper-Threading Technology: Yes
  • Lithography: 32 nm
  • Processor Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 2000
  • Graphics Base Frequency: 850MHz
  • Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency: 1100MHz
  • Max TDP: 65 W
  • The Intel Core i3-2120 processor is designed for LGA1155 platforms and has a slightly different arrangement of resistors on the bottom of the processor compared to some of the other Sandy Bridge processors since some use Intel HD Graphics 2000.  If you want to use Intel Processor Graphics (PG) of the CPU you need to use a motherboard with the H67, or Z68 chipset that has video outputs and not the P67 based motherboards that don't support PG.
