Intel Core i3-3229Y | Intel HD Graphics 4000 | 13.30" | 2.3 kg
The Intel Core i3-3229Y is an ULV-processor for ultrabooks and tablets based on the Ivy Bridge architecture. Due to Hyperthreading, the two cores can handle up to four threads in parallel leading to better utilization of the CPU. Each core offers a clock speed of 1.4 GHz (no Turbo Boost). As other dual core Core i3, the 3229Y offers a 3 MB L3 cache.
Ivy Bridge is an enhanced die shrink of the Sandy Bridge architecture with improvements on both GPU and CPU performance. The CPUs are produced in 22nm (versus 32 nm Sandy Bridge CPUs) and are the first to introduce 3D transistors for increased energy efficiency when compared to similarly clocked Sandy Bridge processors. The Core i3 is compatible with dual-channel DDR3L-1600 or DDR3-1600 RAM but, unlike some of the Core i5 and Core i7 Ivy Bridge family CPUs, does not support PCI-Express 3.0.
The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 features 16 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at 350 MHz up to 850 MHz with Turbo Boost, delivering a performance comparable with an AMD Radeon HD 6520G.
Performance
The average 3229Y in our database matches the Core i3-2357M, a substantially more power-hungry chip of the previous generation, in multi-thread performance, highlighting the progress Intel has managed to make gen-to-gen. The Core i3 is capable of handling most day-to-day tasks without major slowdowns, as of late 2021.
Your mileage may vary depending on how competent the cooling solution of your system is.
Power consumption
This little Core i3 series chip has a default TDP of 13 W which it is very likely to abide by, considering there is no Turbo Boost support here. Either way, an active cooling solution will be required to dissipate the heat.
The i3-3229Y is made with one of the very old 22 nm Intel processes for very, very low, as of 2022, energy efficiency.
