The Intel Core i3-4350T was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in May 2014, at an MSRP of $138. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the Haswell architecture with Socket 1150. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 4 threads. Core i3-4350T has 4 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.1 GHz. Intel is making the Core i3-4350T on a 22 nm production node using 1,400 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Core i3-4350T, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 35 W, the Core i3-4350T consumes only little energy. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1600 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, Core i3-4350T uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i3-4350T, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
