Intel Core i3-7300T BX80677I37300T desktop processor

SKU CH-KAY6-D04TK MPN BX80677I37300T

Dual-core desktop CPU running at 3.50 GHz with Intel HD Graphics 630, 3 MB L3 cache and a 35 W thermal design power for Socket H4 LGA-1151 systems

  • Dual-core design handles everyday tasks efficiently with 3.50 GHz clock speed
  • Integrated HD Graphics 630 supports three monitors without a separate card
  • Low 35 W thermal design power reduces heat and energy use
  • 14 nm process technology enables compact 1.5-inch square form factor
  • LGA-1151 socket fits compatible motherboards for straightforward installation

Dual-core desktop processor

The Intel Core i3-7300T is a dual-core desktop processor built on a 14 nm process. It runs at a fixed 3.50 GHz clock speed with a 35 W thermal design power. The LGA-1151 socket and integrated HD Graphics 630 make it suited for compact office PCs and basic home systems.

Upgrade from older dual-core CPUs

Replacing an earlier low-power dual-core chip with this model adds 64-bit processing, 3 MB of L3 cache and support for three independent displays. The jump is worthwhile when a system needs native 4K video output or a lower 35 W power envelope for a small-form-factor chassis.

Capacity and headroom

The 512 KB L2 cache and 3 MB L3 cache handle everyday office workloads, web browsing and media playback without bottlenecking. Sustained multi-threaded tasks such as video encoding or heavy compilation will exceed the two available threads, while the 92°C thermal limit leaves minimal overclocking headroom.

Questions about this item

Will this CPU fit my LGA-1151 motherboard?

Yes, the processor uses the Socket H4 LGA-1151 interface, so it installs directly into any board with that socket.

Can I run a three-monitor setup without a separate graphics card?

The integrated HD Graphics 630 controller supports up to three displays simultaneously.

What cooling capacity should I plan for with this 35 W processor?

A cooler rated for at least 35 W thermal design power will keep the chip within its 92 °C maximum operating temperature.
