About the Product
AMD Phenom II X3 N830 is a tri-core laptop processor with a frequency of 2.1 GHz. It is based on the Athlon II X3 desktop version, so it cannot boast of a level 3 cache.
The 2nd generation Intel Core i5-2400 processor delivers an improved automatic performance, thanks to its Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. This gives system builders the freedom to set their computers the way they want by overclocking the Core i7-2600K's original speed of 3.1GHz to up to 3.4GHz.
