Intel Core 3 100U

Intel Core 3 100U

The Intel Core 3 100U is an entry-level notebook CPU based on the Raptor Lake-U Refresh series (Alder Lake architecture), which was introduced in January 2024. The CPU offers 2 performance cores (P-cores, Golden Cove architecture) and 4 of the 8 efficiency cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores support hyperthreading (therefore 8 threads together) and clock from 1.2 to 4.7 GHz. The E-cores clock from 0.9 - 3.3 GHz and should offer comparable performance to old Skylake cores (e.g. i7-6300HQ). The Core 3 does not offer vPro features for management.

Performance

The performance should be slightly above the old Core i3-1315U (-200 MHz P-Core Boost).

Graphics unit

Like its predecessor, Intel integrates an Intel Xe-based graphics unit called Intel Graphics in Alder Lake / Raptor Lake. In the 1315U, 64 of the 96 EUs are probably activated.

Features

Like Tiger Lake, Raptor Lake also has WiFi 6E and Thunderbolt 4 (4x) partially integrated. The integrated memory controller supports DDR5-4800, DDR4-3200, LPDDR5-5200 and LPDDR4x-4267. The integrated Gaussian and Neural Accelerator (GNA) is now installed in version 3.0. The Quick Sync 8 media engine is the same as in Rocket Lake and supports MPEG-2, AVC, VC-1 decode, JPEG, VP8 decode, VP9, HEVC and AV1 decode. The chip only supports PCIe 4.0 (x8 for GPU and two x4 for SSDs).

Power consumption

The Intel Core 3-100U is specified with 15 watts (PL1) TDP and 55 watts (PL2) max. turbo power. The processor is manufactured using the further improved Intel 7 process (10 nm SuperFin).

Reviews for the Intel Core 3 100U processor

Luxury Chromebook from Samsung in review

Beautiful, fast, but power-hungry: The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus review

The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus impresses with its ultra-slim aluminum body and exceptionally brilliant AMOLED display that sets new standards in this class. It also delivers good performance thanks to the Intel Core 3, but has a steep price tag.
