Abstract- This term paper on Intel i3 processor is to define the role played by the Intel
processor in the field of data manipulation and graphic display. This term paper present report on
the architecture of i3 processor made by Intel and improvement in it from predecessor.

Introduction:
The Intel i3 processor with Intel HD Graphics offers an unparalleled computing Experience. This
revolutionary new architecture allows for new levels of intelligent performance and advanced
media and graphics features—all while being energy efficient. The processor include an
Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) making them monolithic processors. The IMC and the
multiple processor cores are connected by the new Quick Path Interconnect (QPI).
Most processors today are multi-core, which means that the IC contains two or
more processors for enhanced performance, reduced power consumption and more efficient
simultaneous processing of multiple tasks (see: parallel processing). Multi-core set-ups are
similar to having multiple, separate processors installed in the same computer, but because the
processors are actually plugged into the same socket, the connection between them is faster.
The processor in a personal computer or embedded in small devices is often called
a microprocessor. That term simply means that the processor's elements are contained on a single
integrated circuitry (IC) chip.

History :

Intel is the world’s biggest company which is famous for manufacturing the best processors ever
created in processor history. Every time they have introduced something interesting and new in
their processors and devices. They introduced the series of processors in 1940s and till now the
advanced version of their processors are still considered the best. Some of the famous processor
are from the latest group of the family ‘core’. Intel core is the processors i3 family which is
famous for its latest revolutionary structure and integrated architecture which also provide the
advantage of the parallel computing. It’s also wonderful in providing the users with the excellent
graphical user interfaces. Intel was founded in 1968 and its first product was
Intel 3101 produced in 1969, Intel first product was world’s first solid state memory device with
16 x 4-bit SRAM. Intel 1103 came in 1970 was world first DRAM product with 1K-bit PMOS

Intel 4004 produced in 1971 was world first “general purpose” micro-processor and its Lead
Ii designers were– Ted Hoff, Federico Faggin, Stan Mazor, and Masatoshi Shim. Intel 4004 have
Word width: 4-bit, 2300 transistors, Clock frequency: 108KHz/500/740.It have 46 instructions,
Registers: 16 x 4-bit, Stack: 12 x 4- bit with Address space of 1Kb for program and 4Kb for data.
In1972 came the Intel 8008 - worldfirst 8-bit microprocessor whose designers were– Ted Hoff,
Stan Mazor, Hal Feeney, and FedericoFaggin. Intel 8008 have word width: 8-bit, Clock
frequency: 800 KHz with 3500 transistors, 48instructions, Registers: 6 x 8-bit, Stack: 17 x 7-
bitand Address space: 16KB. In 1974 came the Intel 8080 whose Lead designers were –
Feder1icoFaggin, Masatoshi Shima and Stan Mazor.
"The 8080 really created the microprocessor market”. Itwas used in MITS Altair 8800 in 1975
and termed as “Microcomputer”. It have Word width: 8-bit with 4500 transistors, Clock
frequency: 2M-3MHz and Address space: 64KB, Registers: 6 x 8- bit, IO ports and Stack
pointer.
Intel 16-bit Microprocessors came in 1978 when Intel launched Intel 8086, first x86 family
microprocessor with Source compatibility with 80xx lines and its Followers were: 8088 (1979),
80186 (1982). It have 16-bit: all registers, internal and external buses with 29,000 transistors,
5MHz of clock frequency, 20-bit address bus, 4MB address space and 16-bit register –
segmentation programming. IBM PC in 1981 used 8088 processor. Then came the Intel 80286 in
1982 with 134,000 transistors with clock frequency of 6M-8MHz and 1.5 MIPS it was used by
IBM PC/AT in 1984 it was Designed for multi-tasking with MMU “protection mode”. Intel i432,
Intel first 32-bit microprocessor design it was “intel Advanced Processor architecture”. Started in
1975 as the 8800, follow-on to the existing 8008 and 8080 CPUs, intended purely 32-bit, to be
Intel backbone in the 1980s, to support Ada, LISP, advanced computations, the HW supports to
all the good terms with Object Oriented programming and capability-based addressing,
multi-tasking and IPC, Multiprocessing, Fault tolerance. But the Problems with it was two-chip
implementation, lack of cache, bit-aligned variable length instructions. It Failed: ¼
performance of 286 as of 1982. Then in 1980 Intel 8087 came into picture with First floating-
point coprocessor for 8086 lines, its Performance was: +20% ~ 5x; it have Floating registers
form 8 level stack: st0~st7 work in two mode: 8-bit/16-bit follow IEEE 754 standard. Then
follows: Intel 80287 – 16-bit and Intel 80387, 80487 – 32-bit. Starting from Intel 80486DX,
Pentium and later model has on chip floating point unit and “DX” was used for on-chip FP
capability. Intel introduced 80386 processor in 1985 it was Intel first X86 32-bit flat memory
model with 4GB space. 80386 instruction set, programming model, and binary encodings were
the common denominator for all IA-32, i386, x86 series. It has Paging to support VM, hardware
debugging, first use of pipeline it wasn’t necessarily a big performance improvement over
80286,it contain 275,000 transistors with clock frequency of 12MHz initially, later 33MHz and
11.4MIPS. Compaq: first PC using 80386, legitimize PC “clone” industry.
In 1985 Intel produced i960. Intel 80960, Intel was first RISC (Reduced instruction set
computing) microprocessor it was the Best-selling embedded microcontroller at the time. It was

4. intended to replace 80286/i386, and for UNIX systems, it used Berkeley RISC, flat memory
model, superscalar structure but Dropped after acquiring Strong ARM in late 90’s when its
Price/performance/power remain no longer competitive and

Advantages:
 For the most part, you'll get faster CPU performance from the Core i5 parts overCore i3.
Some Core i5 processors are dual-core and some are quad-core. Most of the time, a true
quad-core CPU will perform better than a dual-core processor, especially on multimedia
tasks like video transcoding or photo editing.
 Cheap
 The Core i3 processor has the ability to run two independent programs with one
hardware.
 Processors have improved Pentium base.
 New architecture with more integrations and high speed performance structure.
 Better performance with more reliable outputs than the earlier version.
 It has 4 tasking threads that allows user to easily execute 3 to 4 programmed at a time.
 This processor consists of 2-4 cores.
 Smart memory and cache sequence allows user to enjoy the optimized and efficient data
access both direct and sequentially.
 Effective shortcuts have reduced the access time of the file and system.
 Intel HD 630 graphical features allows 3D graphics and 4K video playback.
Disadvantages :

 Get over-heated.
 The limitation it imposes on the size of data.
 This requires the use a an ISA(Industry Standard Architecture)specific compiler, and
ISA-compliant operating system.
 Graphics quality is low than latest version.
Conclusion:
No matter your taste for being labeled, the PC and gaming market is awash with different
segments that loosely collate different requirements. Some want high-performance at any cost,
others are power conscious, and some want the best gaming performance for their budget. For
this latter group, the Core i3-7350K is a serious contender to throw some money at.
