The Intel ® Core ™ i3-3240 processor based on the new Ivy Bridge architecture and is a further development of the successful Core ™ i3-2000 series (Sandy Bridge). The Core ™ i3-3240 processor is in 22-nm process made dual-core CPU for the socket 1155th The output has been increased compared to the previous by Various optimizations and new tri-gate transistors further. PCI Express 3.0 and USB 3.0 are now supported natively. Especially the integrated graphics (Intel ® HD 2500) has been greatly improved. So dominated the GPU DirectX 11 (Shader Model 5.0, including Compute Shader) support, tessellation and texture compression and verbesstere anisotropic filtering and has its own cache. In order for the Intel ® Core ™ i3-3240 processor is a powerful solution, which in many cases makes a separate graphics card unnecessary.
