The Intel Core i3-7100T is a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in January 2017. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the Kaby Lake architecture with Socket 1151. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 4 threads. Core i3-7100T has 3 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.4 GHz. Intel is making the Core i3-7100T on a 14 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Core i3-7100T, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 35 W, the Core i3-7100T consumes only little energy. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2400 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the system, Core i3-7100T uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Intel HD 630 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i3-7100T, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. 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.
