Speed ​​in office use Core i3-2350M 42.2 (+50%) Pentium N3540 28.1 Performance in everyday work such as browsers and office programs. The performance of 1 core has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications use only one, ignoring the rest. Similarly, many professional applications such as various CADs ignore multi-threaded performance. Speed ​​in heavy applications Core i3-2350M 19.1 (+37%) Pentium N3540 13.9 Performance in resource-intensive tasks loading up to 8 cores. The performance of all cores and their number have the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications willingly use all the cores and increase the speed accordingly. At the same time, certain periods of work can be demanding on the performance of one or two cores, for example, applying filters in the editor. Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems with and without overclocking. Thus, you see the average values ​​corresponding to the processor. Speed ​​of numerical operations Simple household tasks Core i3-2350M 35.3 (+63%) Pentium N3540 21.7 Demanding games and tasks Core i3-2350M 10.8 (+50%) Pentium N3540 7.2 Extreme Core i3-2350M 2.1 (+50%) Pentium N3540 1.4 Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with few fast cores and low memory latency will be fine for the vast majority of games, but will be inferior to a system with a lot of slow cores in a rendering scenario. We believe that a minimum of 4/4 (4 physical cores and 4 threads) processor is suitable for a budget gaming PC. At the same time, some games can load it at 100%, slow down and freeze, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a drop in FPS. Ideally, the budget shopper should aim for a minimum of 4/8 and 6/6. A gamer with a big budget can choose between 6/12, 8/8 and 8/16. Processors with 10 and 12 cores can perform well in games with high frequency and fast memory, but are overkill for such tasks. Also, buying for the future is a dubious undertaking, since in a few years many slow cores may not provide sufficient gaming performance. When choosing a processor for your work, consider how many cores your programs use. For example, photo and video editors can use 1-2 cores when working with filtering, and rendering or converting in the same editors already uses all threads. Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems both with overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum). A typical result is shown in the middle, the more filled in the color bar, the better the average result among all tested systems. Benchmarks Benchmarks were run on stock hardware, that is, without overclocking and with factory settings. Therefore, on overclocked systems, the points can noticeably differ upwards. Also, small performance changes may be due to the BIOS version.

On desktop platforms, two-channel, three-channel and four-channel modes are available. 2 2 Memory bandwidth 21.3 GB/s 21.32 GB/s Video core Integrated graphics core Allows you to use your computer without a discrete graphics card. The monitor is connected to the video output on the motherboard. If earlier integrated graphics made it possible to simply work at a computer, today it can replace budget video accelerators and makes it possible to play most games at low settings. Intel HD 3000 Intel® HD Graphics GPU base clockFrequency in 2D and idle. 650 MHz 313 MHz Maximum GPU frequencyMaximum 3D frequency. 1150MHz 896MHz Intel® Wireless Display (Intel® WiDi) Supports Wireless Display technology using the Wi-Fi 802.11n standard. Thanks to it, a monitor or TV equipped with the same technology does not require a cable to connect. No data No data Supported monitorsThe maximum number of monitors that can be connected to the integrated video core at the same time. 2 2 PCI Details Model Official name. i3-2350M N3540 ArchitectureCode name for the microarchitecture generation. Sandy Bridge Bay Trail Process The manufacturing process, measured in nanometers. The smaller the technical process, the more perfect the technology, the lower the heat dissipation and power consumption. For Ryzen with a chiplet layout, the CCD process is implied. 32 nm 22 nm DescriptionInformation about the processor, taken from the official website of the manufacturer.
