Intel Core 3 304

Intel Core 3 304

The Intel Core 3 304 is a small SoC from the Wildcat Lake family. It uses 5 CPU cores in two clusters. A fast performance core from the Cougar Cove series clocks at 1.5 to 4.3 GHz. In addition, the chip contains four low power E-cores (Darkmont architecture) with 1.4 to 3.3 GHz. This makes Wildcat Lake similar to the faster Panther Lake chips.

The Core 3 304 supports up to 64 GB DDR5-6400 and has a small Intel Graphics iGPU with 16 EUs. The integrated NPU offers up to 15 TOPs (int8).

First leaked Geekbench tests show a performance in the lower range of current notebook processors. The Intel N processors of the Twin Lake series, such as the Core 3 N350), are clearly outperformed. On average, the performance is on a par with the Ryzen 3 210 (Hawk Point 4-core Zen 4). 

The TDP is 15W - 35W (Base - Turbo), making the SoC suitable for small laptops and small embedded systems. The CPU chip of the SoC is manufactured in the modern 18A process at Intel.
