Intel Core i3-10305

4C/8T · 4.5 GHz · 65 W

The Intel Core i3-10305 is a quad-core desktop processor from the 10th Generation Core family, built on the Intel 14 nm process with the Comet Lake microarchitecture. Four Hyper-Threaded cores run at a 3.8 GHz base and up to 4.5 GHz Turbo, backed by 8 MB of Intel Smart Cache, and Intel UHD Graphics 630 at up to 1.15 GHz provides display output without a discrete card. The 65 W chip fits LGA1200 boards, addresses up to 128 GB of dual-channel DDR4-2666 memory and offers 16 lanes of PCI Express 3.0, making it a straightforward choice for mainstream office and home desktops.
