Intel Core i3 540 (3.06 GHz)
While the frantic Core i7 Processors have stolen the limelight – and the cheaper Core i5 Models have been given all the attention – the Core i3 Series have also lurked their way to Denmark. Some users probably don’t care, but it can be a worthwhile experience to have a closer look at an Intel Core i3. Like Core i5 600 series revisions, Clarksdale architecture per 32 nanometer production size, offers lower heat output and a more environmentally friendly power. At the same time a Core i3 can be acquired for approx. 800 Danish kroner – or 30% less than the slowest Core i5 processor.
