Dual-core 3.9 GHz desktop processor

The Intel Core i3-7100 is a dual-core desktop processor with four threads running at 3.9 GHz. It uses the LGA 1151 socket and includes Intel HD Graphics 630 with a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.1 GHz. The chip has a 51 W thermal design power and is supplied without a cooling device.

Suits basic office builds.

This processor suits entry-level office PCs, home-theatre systems or lightweight web browsing where low power draw and integrated graphics are priorities. Builders needing more cores for video editing, modern gaming or heavy multitasking should look at higher-tier parts with six or more cores.

LGA 1151 socket and DDR4 or DDR3L memory support

The CPU fits motherboards with an LGA 1151 socket and supports DDR4 at 2400 MT/s or DDR3L at 1600 MT/s. Matching the socket and memory type is the single specification that decides whether this is the right part for a given build.

Questions about this item

Does the i3-7100 come with a cooler or is it processor only?

The package is processor only; a cooling device is not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I pair this CPU with DDR4 or DDR3L memory for the 2400 / 1600 speeds listed?

Both DDR4 at 2400 and DDR3L at 1600 are supported; choose DDR4 for newer boards or DDR3L if your motherboard requires low-voltage modules.

What does the 3.9 GHz clock mean for everyday tasks with the HD Graphics 630 running up to 1.1 GHz?

The fixed 3.9 GHz dual-core speed handles web browsing, office work and 4K 360 video playback smoothly while the integrated graphics tops out at 1.1 GHz for display output.
