Intel® Core™ i3-2102

The Intel Core i3-2102 is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 4 threads, built on the Sandy Bridge architecture (32 nm process). It launched in 2011. A 3-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). The chip drops into the FCLGA1155 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W.

The Intel Core i3-2102 scores 1,400 in single-core performance and 2,029 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,685 for overall performance, 3,279 for productivity performance, 3,636 for creator performance, 1,890 for engineering performance and 4,707 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,015 per core, 507 per thread and 31 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 209. Its performance index is 21, so its overall performance is 79% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Core i3-2102.

The Intel Core i3-2102 has 2 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.10 GHz.

The Intel Core i3-2102 is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i3 family, uses the Sandy Bridge architecture, carries the codename Sandy Bridge and is manufactured on a 32 nm process. It launched in 2011.

The Intel Core i3-2102 has 128 KB of L1 cache, 512 KB of L2 cache and 3 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 3.6 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i3-2102 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 128 KB, L2 at 512 KB and L3 at 3 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.
