Intel Core i3-3250 Processor

This processor supports ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory. ECC memory is a type of system memory that can detect and correct common kinds of internal data corruption.

Intel Quick Sync Video delivers fast conversion of video for portable media players, online sharing as well as video editing and authoring.

Intel InTru 3D technology provides stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray playback in full 1080p resolution over HDMI 1.4 and premium audio.

Intel Insider technology delivers premium HD content to an UltrabookTM or PC.

Intel Wireless Display is a technology that enables wireless streaming of movies, photos, websites and more from an UltrabookTM or PC to an HDTV.

The Intel Flexible Display Interface is an innovative path for two independently controlled channels of integrated graphics to be displayed.

Intel Clear Video HD technology delivers high definition quality playback so that you can experience movies and games like never before.

Intel Hyper-Threading (Intel HT) technology delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.

Intel Virtualization technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. It helps limit downtime and maintain productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions, thus offering improved manageability.

Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for memory intensive virtualized applications. The Extended Page Tables in Intel Virtualization technology platforms reduce memory as well as power overhead costs and increase battery life through hardware optimization of page table management.

Intel 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software. It also improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4GB of both virtual and physical memory.

Intel Anti-Theft technology (Intel AT) helps keep your laptop safe and secure in the event that it is ever lost or stolen.

Intel My WiFi technology enables wireless connection of an UltrabookTM or laptop to WiFi-enabled devices such as printers, stereos and more.

Idle States (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operational state, which indicates that the CPU is performing useful task. C1 is the first idle state, C2 the second and so on, where more power savings are achieved at numerically higher C-states.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as separation between voltage and frequency changes and clock partitioning and recovery.

Thermal Monitoring technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects the core's temperature, and the thermal management features reduce package power consumption and thereby temperature when required in order to remain within normal operating limits.

Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that reduces exposure to viruses and malicious code attacks. It also prevents harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network.

Intel Identity Protection technology is a built-in security token technology that helps provide a simple, tamper-resistant method for protecting access to your online customer and business data from threats and fraud. Intel® IPT furnishes a hardware-based proof of a unique user's PC to websites, financial institutions and network services, providing verification that it is not malware attempting to login. Intel IPT can be a key component in two-factor authentication solutions to protect your information at websites and business log-ins.
