Some more details of Core i3-380M

The Hyperthreading (Two threads For Each core) in the core i3-380M Improved performance in multithreaded environment. The IS processor built with Two dies on the chip, the first die Has the Two cores and the second die Has the Integrated memory controller and the integrated graphics GMA That Called unit runs at core clock of 500 MHz to 667 MHz and ramp demand based upon . The performance of the Integrated GPU is for entry level graphics and not really great for gaming, though, IT Help Reduce system cost by not requiring a discrete graphics Separate component. The core i3-380M is for entry level notebooks That promised moderate performance. The processor with the chipset Communicates using DMI Bus - a fast differential bus. Based upon Arrandale architecture - the core i3-380M HAS fast processor to memory communication using integrated graphics controller icts
