| Introduction |
The Core i3 is a CPU series manufactured by Intel aimed at entry-level computers. In this tutorial, we will present a series of quick reference tables for you to compare the main differences between all models released to date. By the way, the correct name of this line of processors is “Core i3,” not “Intel i3.” Currently, there are three different generations of Core i3 processors available. In the table below, we describe the main differences between these generations.
