Recently, Intel Corporation announced the latest expansion of its Raptor Lake product line with the new Intel 310 dual-core processor. This processor quickly attracted the attention of the industry with its excellent performance and reasonable power consumption design.
According to IT House, the Intel 310 processor performed well in the Geekbench 6 benchmark test, with a single-core score of 2152 points, which even surpassed AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X processor. In the multi-core test, the Intel 310 also lived up to expectations, surpassing the 4-core and 8-thread Core i3-10100 processor with a score of 4252. This impressive performance demonstrates the Intel 310's strength in single-core and multi-core performance.
The Intel 310 processor is also quite bright in terms of specifications. It is equipped with 2 P-cores of the Raptor Cove core architecture, supports 4 threads, and has a default clock frequency of up to 4.1GHz. In addition, the processor is equipped with 6MB of L3 cache and 2.5MB of L2 cache, which provides a strong guarantee for fast access to data. These specifications not only guarantee the performance of the processor, but also make it comfortable when handling complex tasks.

When it comes to design power, the Intel 310 processor also performs well. It is designed to consume only 46W and, like the rest of the Raptor Lake series, uses the LGA 1700 socket. This low-power design not only helps to reduce energy consumption, but also allows the processor to maintain a stable performance output over long periods of time.
It's worth noting that the Intel 310 processor, as a low-end positioned SKU, should cost less than $100. This pricing strategy makes it ideal for those who have some performance requirements but don't want to spend too much of their budget. At the same time, it is also a further proof of Intel's strong competitiveness in the entry-level processor market.
Intel's launch of the Intel 310 processor is undoubtedly an important boost to dual-core CPU technology. Although multi-core CPUs have become mainstream in the high-end market, dual-core CPUs still have irreplaceable advantages in entry-level markets, embedded systems, and specific application scenarios. The successful debut of the Intel 310 processor not only meets the needs of specific markets, but also injects new impetus into the development of dual-core CPU technology.
In addition, the launch of the Intel 310 processor also reflects Intel's continuous innovation and pursuit in processor technology. By continuously optimizing the core architecture, increasing the clock frequency, and reducing the power consumption of the design, Intel continues to introduce more high-performance and lower-power processor products to bring users a better user experience.
