Dual-core desktop processor for LGA-1151

The Intel Core i3-7300T is a dual-core desktop processor that runs at 3.5 GHz on the LGA-1151 socket. It provides 4 MB of L3 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache. The chip includes Intel HD 600 integrated graphics. It is built on a 14 nm process and supports 64-bit computing.

Suited to basic office and home PCs

This processor fits budget office machines, compact home desktops or simple upgrades for compatible LGA-1151 boards. The dual-core design handles web browsing, document work and video playback. It is not suited to modern gaming, heavy multitasking or content-creation workloads that need more threads.

3.5 GHz fixed frequency on LGA-1151

The operating frequency is a fixed 3.5 GHz with no turbo boost listed in the specifications. That clock speed defines the performance ceiling for single-threaded tasks. Buyers must confirm their motherboard supports 7th generation Core i3 CPUs on the LGA-1151 socket before purchase.

Questions about this item

How is the i3-7300T installed in an LGA-1151 socket, and what step is often missed?

Align the notches on the processor with the socket keys, lower it straight down without forcing, then close the retention lever until it clicks; the step many miss is removing the plastic protective cover from the socket before placement.

What maintenance or replacement will the i3-7300T need over time?

The processor itself has no serviceable parts, but the thermal paste between the CPU heat-spreader and the cooler should be cleaned and reapplied every few years to maintain heat transfer.

What limit appears first when the i3-7300T runs a sustained heavy workload?

With a fixed 3.5 GHz clock and no turbo boost, the dual-core design reaches full utilisation quickly, so compute throughput caps before thermal throttling becomes the bottleneck.
