i3-3220
  • The i3-3220 has higher Level 2 Cache. Data/instructions which have to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR RAM
  • The i3-3220 has more threads. Larger programs are divided into threads (small sections) so that the processor can execute them simultaneously to get faster execution.
  • For some games, a cpu with a higher clock speed, or in a technical name IPC (Instructions per clock), has better results than other CPU's with higher core count and lower core speed.
  • The i3-3220 is more power efficient and generates less heat.
  • The i3-3220 has a smaller process size. The faster a transistor can toggle on and off, the faster it can do work. And transistors that turn on and off with less energy are more efficient, reducing the operating power, or “dynamic power consumption,” required by a processor.

    G2020 or i3-3220 processor for hp 8300I know i3 -3220 is better then g2020 in some way. I might see some betterment while playing games.(which I don't have plan too)I will be buying another hp 8300 desktop ( early one have g630 processor)the desktop will be on around 16 hours (give or take) daily. Sure the psu is only 240watts. For sff model. Will use 2 hard drive with dvdrw.Most of the time it will run utorrents whenever it is on. With utorrent it will be running on back ground otherwise might not too with these other works.1. It will be used for streaming movies, videos, YouTube, and chatting.2. excel and word multi files opening together.3. Watching stored videos, pictures and movies..4. Transferring files from one hard drive to another drive 5. Delete or download new files and upload to google n other clouds.6. Maybe maybe maybe play light games as the psu isn't strong for it.Now not everything will run together but multi tasking will be applied. I had old dell optiplex g620 with p4 2.8 ghz processor and I use to do these with it for 5 years before the motherboard die. ( this had 280watts psu)

    usage list. will it help?1 yes, both the improved CPU and GPU will help here2 not really, office applications are not optimized for multiprocessing, but you can do more while doing these things, youtube, movies or music in background will have far less performance hit. multitasking will increase dramatically3 yes, again the CPU and GPU will be apparent here4 not really, more to do with the storage susbsystem and RAM5 no all that takes place off your PC, the main speed bottleneck is the network6 yes, massive increases here to be had.

    i5 2390t vs i3 3220Out of these two processors which is better? I already have them on hand as spare parts and I'm curious to see which one would be the best for my brothers gaming rig.

    The i5 is probably better.Cores/Threads wise, both processors are the same, with 2 cores 4 threads with Hyperthreading.But the i5 has an overall higher Clock Speed (Including the Maximum Turbo Speed), and has Turbo Boost technology, allowing it to turbo to 3.5GHz from 2.7GHz. although the i3 runs at 3.3GHz maximum, and doesn't have turbo.

    i3-2120 or i3-3220 ?Hello! I want to know before buying any processoer that is there any difference between i3-2120 vs i3-3220. Does my games run faster on i3-3220?I already have a gpu so I don't care about their HD-graphics and I am currently using G2020 processor.Please don't tell me to buy i5 because I have no budget.

    Yes, they are better for gaming, just as a haswell i3 would be even better. If you feel the need to 'upgrade', I'd advise you to stay with your G2020 until you can afford an i5 3570k.

    i5-3330 with HD 7850 or i3-3220 with HD 7870?i'm a about to build a new PC and I'm confused, i will play at resolution 1440x900 .. wich will be better for solid and newish games and give me good FPS.. The i5-3330 with an HD 7850, or i3-3220 with HD 7870another question: how long the HD 7850 will last for playing the new upcoming games?, i dunno wich one will die sooner, the HD 7850 or the i3-3220?

    Intel HD (g2020) vs Intel HD 2500 (i3-3220)*Is there a difference between the Intel HD found in the g2020 and the Intel HD 2500 found in the i3-3220?*Will there be a performance difference between the two when it comes to gaming?*How many FPS can I get when playing League of Legends @ 720p / Medium Settings / Shadows off? (Answers based from personal experience would be appreciated)Thanks in advance!
