Intel Core i3 10320 4-core LGA1200
Hyper-threading across 4 cores and a 4.6GHz boost clock give this 14nm chip strong single-threaded responsiveness for its class. The included boxed cooler and 65W TDP make it a straightforward, low-cost drop-in upgrade for LGA1200 400-series motherboards. This processor is best for office multitaskers and home users building a capable budget PC who don't require dedicated graphics.
