Intel Launches its Core i3-8130U Mobile CPU

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/13/2018 08:39 AM | source: | 14 comment(s)

Intel is expanding the performance options available for mainstream laptops and 2 in 1s with the 8th Gen Intel Core i3 processor. The new Intel Core i3-8130U features 2 cores and 4 threads, up to 3.4 GHz and DDR4-2400 memory.

This rounds out the portfolio for the first mobile processors Intel introduced in the 8th Gen Intel Core processor family in August. Expect to see new systems from our partners soon powered by the 8th Gen Intel Core i3 that give consumers even more choice in finding a great laptop and 2 in 1 with the right balance of features, performance and price that fits their needs.

The new chip has a base clock of 2.2GHz, and gets a 3.4GHz turbo mode. Cache is 1MB, and memory speed is now DDR4-2400, up from DDR4-2133. The integrated graphics is HD 620.

Processor Number	Cores/Threads	Base Freq (GHz)	Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0		Graphics	Graphics Base / Max Freq (MHz)	LPDDR3 Memory Speed Support (MHz)	DDR4 Memory Speed Support (MHz)	L3 Cache	TDP
			Max Single Core Turbo (GHz)	Max Dual Core Turbo (GHz)
Intel® Core™ i3-8130U	2/4	2.20	3.40	3.40	Intel® UHD Graphics 620	300/1000	2133	2400	4MB	15W

coffee lake i3/ 1050ti/1060 would blow this off the map @ gaming! ...get a grip folks.

per core performance still counts.

anyone that tells you that a new ryzen is faster than a 7700k (2years old) is stupid....

its funny how gaming benchmarks no longer matter?....synthetic benchmarks are just that...synthetic...much less the 8700k/8600k

I'm starting to see a prejudism here and hey!....Is there a ryzen that can beat a 7700k? Nope!

Much less a 8600k....8700k....Nope! ..Facts are Facts.............

Why you so bent?

Seriously. I went from a 3930k @ 4.6 to a 1500x @ 3.9, and guess what. I literally only can tell the difference in once game. BF1.

Ryzen is better then Intel in my opinion except for 144hz+ users @ 1080p. 1440p 120hz+ is a whole different story IMHO. Both are great. This past almost year has been awesome in the CPU world finally.

I had a i7 3820( same as 2600k) and was it was shit until I pushed it to 4.5ghz.

Personally Id rather have a 1600x @ 4ghz then a 6700/770k @ 4.5ghz. Why, because I am tired of quadcores. I still hate that I couldnt get even a R5 1600. My last 3 cpus before Ryzen, x5650@4.5, i7 3820 @ 4.5, i7 3930k@ 4.5.

Quad core 8 thread cpus have been the near top end gaming cpu for 10 years now. X58 12 thread cpus were retarded expensive and still are outside of the xeons. X79 was expensive as hell too.
I paid $375 for my 3930k.

My 1500x was $189. Cheaper them 3820 was @ $220.

Thats rather crappy IMHO.

This processor isn't meant for gaming. It's a ULV processor....and it's a mobile processor.

per core performance still counts.
And the ULV i3's have excellent "per core performance"

This thread is about a mobile ULV processor. Why are you bashing AMD and Ryzen processors? Hell, why are you even mentioning the 7700K, 8600K or 8700K? They're all desktop processors.

The only prejudice here appears to be from you.... I mean, sure, Hilbert did just post 2 reviews of AMD processors the other day, but you're the only one that seems to see any prejudice. This is a tech forum, right? It's a bit ironic to see someone complain about "prejudice" considering this forum's long standing history of being insanely Intel/NVidia biased...

Also, as a point of fact, there are applications that favor Intel processors and applications that favor AMD processors. Neither maintains an advantage in every market. Gaming happens to be the market that matters least in the real world.

I clicked on the wrong thread...good grief give me a lashing and get over it.

Love ya sykozis!...you make America great better than Trump...

8700k will kick the dog crap out of any AMD @ Gaming
Not gaming that's not optimized to properly use more than 4 cores. That gap wouldn't exist vs 8 core Ryzens if games actually made proper use of 16 threads. We already know clock for clock Ryzen is not insanely far behind Intel's latest chips. Pretty much everything is optimized for 4 cores and Intel CPUs in general. I expect that to change in the near future. Everything is so heavily bottlenecked by the GPU anyway that I'm not even considering an Intel CPU if the next Ryzens offer similar relative value as the current.

The cheapest 8700K I see available is $450 CAD (that's a "sale" LOL), versus $365 for a Ryzen 7 1700, not exactly the same value per dollar, especially considering we all know Intel motherboards are only used for 1 generation while the AMD boards will function for the next with BIOS updates. Considering the GPU bottleneck, I'd say screw it and go for a Ryzen 5 1600 for $239 at the moment if I was upgrading.

Edited to be less of a mess.
