Intel Core i3-3120ME and i3-3217UE CPUs Details

CPU-World reported: Two new Intel CPUs have been exposed, but they aren't the sort that most of us consumers are ever going to see or use.

Called Core i3-3120ME and i3-3217UE, they are aimed at the embedded market, making them best suited for transportation, fire safety, safety and security, medical applications and life critical systems. Consumer electronics like PDAs and home-automation systems might use them too though. That said, the Core i3 CPUs have two cores each, 3 MB L2 cache memory, HD 4000 graphics, Hyper-Threading and DDR3-1600 memory support.

The Core i3-3120ME, being the faster one, operates at 2.4 GHz and boasts a GPU clock of 650 / 900 MHz. Its TDP is 35W. Meanwhile, the Core i3-3217UE is slower, at 1.6 GHz and 350 / 900 MHz GPU speed, but its power draw is much lower (17W). No prices are known for the chips, unfortunately, but sales should begin this quarter.
