With four cores and 6MB of cache memory, the Core i3-8100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core LGA 1151 Processor from Intel delivers more performance for everyday computing tasks than the previous generation. This 8th-generation Intel Core i3-8100 processor is built on Coffee Lake architecture and runs at up to 3.6 GHz speeds. This processor is compatible with motherboards that sport an LGA 1151 socket and an Intel 300-series chipset, so the CPU can provide up to sixteen PCIe 3.0 lanes for NVMe storage drives, graphics cards, and other high-performance parts.
