Intel CM8063701137502 Core i3-3220 Dual-Core Processor

The Intel Core i3-3220 is a 3rd-generation Ivy Bridge desktop processor built on Intel's 22nm process, operating at a fixed 3.30GHz across its two physical cores. With Hyper-Threading enabled, it presents four threads to the operating system, which helps smooth out basic multitasking scenarios like running a browser alongside office applications or light media playback. It slots into the LGA-1155 socket found on Intel 6-series and 7-series chipset motherboards, and its integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500 can drive displays for general productivity without requiring a discrete GPU.

As an OEM/tray part (model CM8063701137502), this processor ships without a retail box, cooler, or Intel warranty—buyers will need to source a compatible LGA-1155 heatsink separately. The i3-3220 is realistically positioned as a replacement or budget component for existing LGA-1155 systems rather than a starting point for new builds, given that the platform has been superseded by several generations of Intel sockets. For light computing, file serving, or basic home-office duty on hardware you already own, it remains a functional and inexpensive processor, but its two-core limitation is a hard ceiling for anything more demanding.
