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

I don't see point in releasing 2 core CPUs that have same TDP but way lower performance as their quad core counterparts like i5-8250U.

Remember, TDP!=wattage. Also, Intel for years has been extremely vague about their TDPs. Nowadays, the only reason to pay attention to it is to get a rough idea of what kind of heatsink you need if you don't intend to overclock. Otherwise, you might as well ignore the TDP value they advertise, because it's pretty much meaningless. This is exacerbated when you consider that turbo-clocked chips will sometimes ignore the TDP whenever they get the opportunity.

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.............
