Box Contains CPUHeatsink and Fan Review: I3-3220 3.3GHz Review - The best budget CPU on the market? This is a perfect bit of kit for someone looking to game on a moderate level, there are some games that are taking advantage of the 4 cores the i5's have to offer such as BF3 but most still looking at duel cores really. This cpu, for the price, gives a good 'bang for buck' it is fast, stays cool and is cheap. I am running: i3-3220 3.3Ghz w/ stock cooler 4GB Corsair RAM Gigabyte HD 7770 1GB MSI motherboard 500GB Seagate 430w corsair cx430. All wrapped in a Fractal design core 1000. Cheep system all in all about £360, and I have had far cry 3 running on ultimate at about 50FPS, minecraft with highest setting about 70-100FPS. So this is what you are looking at from this cpu in a budget build it is a very nice bit of kit and worth the price most defiantly. Sorry I can not provide any other benchmarks for more popular games, haven't played any others yet. If you are looking to pick this one up I suggest it highly, out performs my friends £700 pre-built system he got about 1 year ago, but that's because it is pre-built and you always get ripped off, haha! Review: Excellent value - Got this for my first ever gaming pc build, and the thing handles everything I chuck at it just fine. Guild Wars 2, Deus Ex, Bioshock Infinite, Team Fortress 2; I can play all of these maxed out, this really is all you need. If I had the extra money I would have reached for the i5 3570k not only offers great performance but also the overclocking function. However for now I am perfectly happy with this cpu, great performance and great temps for a casual gamer like myself. ## Features - Product type: processor - AES instructions - Advanced Vector Extensions - Extended Memory 64 technology (EM64T) - Execute disable bit - HyperThreading technology ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008F65MO0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 405,459 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 1,817 in CPUs | | Brand | Intel | | Brand Name | Intel | | CPU manufacturer | Intel | | CPU model | Core i3 3220 | | CPU socket | LGA 1155 | | CPU speed | 3300 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 3 | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 325 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00675901159593, 00735858245913, 05032037040426, 05053460858167 | | Item Part Number | BX80637I33220, bx80637i33220 | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Manufacturer Part Number | BX80637I33220 | | Model Number | BX80637I33220 | | Platform | Windows 10 | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Processor Core Count | 2 | | Processor Count | 2 | | Processor Number of Concurrent Threads | 4 | | Processor Series | Core i3 3220 | | Processor Socket | LGA 1155 | | Processor Speed | 3300 GHz | | Secondary Cache | 3 MB | | Secondary cache | 3 MB | | UPC | 071898878781 080850197730 727610472880 069060111941 675901159593 707223264980 735858245913 100177270227 163120566082 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wattage | 55 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU model:** Core i3 3220 - **CPU speed:** 3300 GHz - **CPU socket:** LGA 1155 - **Platform:** Windows 10 - **Secondary cache:** 3072 KB - **Wattage:** 55 watts - **Cache size:** 3 - **Processor count:** 2 ## Images ![Intel Core i3-3220 3300GHz 3MB Cache Socket LGA1155 Desktop CPU Box - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nz3PogQ8L.jpg) ![Intel Core i3-3220 3300GHz 3MB Cache Socket LGA1155 Desktop CPU Box - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41YnqYO7naL.jpg) ![Intel Core i3-3220 3300GHz 3MB Cache Socket LGA1155 Desktop CPU Box - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SFYZHZbWL.jpg) ![Intel Core i3-3220 3300GHz 3MB Cache Socket LGA1155 Desktop CPU Box - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Qh6oraYTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I3-3220 3.3GHz Review *by M***T on 3 April 2013* The best budget CPU on the market?
