35W ultra-low power consumption Sandy Bridge i3-2100T for the first time

Although the 6-series chipset is still recovering, the sales of the Sandy Bridge processor are still in progress, and new models have been delivered. In recent days, there has been an energy-saving version with a thermal design power consumption of only 35W.

The latest three new products are all affiliated with the low-end version of the Sandy Bridge Core i3-2000 series. The models are the Core i3-2100T, Core i3-2100, and Core i3-2120. They are dual-core four-threaded, DMI bus frequency. 5GT/s, three-level cache 3MB, integrated graphics core HD Graphics 2000, virtualization technology VT-x but no VT-d, support dual-channel DDR3-1066/1333 memory, maximum capacity 32GB.

Technical support, three processors are HT hyper-threading, SSE4.1/4.2 and AVX instruction set, Quick Sync Video video transcoding, Clear Video HD high-definition acceleration, InTRU 3D stereo, VT-x virtualization, but none Turbo Boost Turbo Dynamic Acceleration, Wireless Display Wireless HD, VT-d Virtualization, AES New Instruction Set.

Core i3-2100T is an energy-saving version, thermal design power consumption is only 35W, but the main frequency is only 2.5GHz, integrated graphics frequency of 650-1100MHz, the processor cover temperature of up to 65 °C. There are only two 35W models in the first batch of Sandy Bridge processors. In addition to this, there are Core i3-2390T, clocked at 2.7GHz and support Turbo Boost at 3.5GHz.

Core i3-2100/2120 thermal design power consumption are 65W, frequency 3.1/3.3GHz, integrated graphics frequency 850-1100MHz, processor top cover temperature of up to 69.1 °C.

In contrast, the Core i3 series bus bandwidth of the LGA1156 platform is only 2.5GT/s, the integrated graphics frequency is fixed at 733MHz, and the thermal design power consumption reaches 73W.

In the Akihabara market in Japan, the retail prices of the Core i3-2100T, Core i3-2100, and Core i3-2120 are respectively 11470-11980 yen, 10970-11480 yen, and 12770-12980 yen, or approximately 905- 945 yuan, 865-905 yuan, 1010-1025 yuan.
