Very powerful. Very fast. I recommend.
I had a little heat problem. CPU little slow for my needs.

Intel Core i3-3220 CPU Processor

This cpu is great for the price. I've read that it outperforms amd fx quad cores that run at 4.2ghz.
The hyperthreading feature allows you simulate two more cores at fast speeds.
The 3.3 ghz on this baby make it very fast. Excellent processor.
Great option for my my budget gaming build. Definitely recommend. Just works!
A processor that is fast and affordable, you can't go wrong.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 CPU Processor

It's screaming fast and rock stable. Good memory support.
A pair of normal DDR2 800 MHz memory can overclock the CPU to 3.2.
It came with 2.13 GHz. It is very easy to overclock as well. Works well with my DDR3 memory.
Extra 2 MB cache goes a long way. Good performance.
No lag, faster loading times, works perfect with DDR3 memory, etc. Highly recommended!

Intel Core i3-3220 CPU Processor

For everyday work on a computer and not very complex tasks, the cache in this processor is enough.
This one is 22nm so I can use my memory at 1600 which is good.
I coupled the 3220 with a mid range video card and 4GB of memory. I'm happy with how it works.
No complaints. I install 32 GB of RAM and the computer flies.
Limited cache. I would like a little more for such a processor.
