New 8th Gen Intel Core i3 Processor Expands Performance Options for Thin and Light Laptops and 2 in 1s

Intel is expanding the performance options available for mainstream laptops and 2 in 1s with the 8^th Gen Intel Core i3 processor. Like its 8^th Gen Intel Core i7 and i5 siblings, this Intel Core i3 delivers a performance jump over the previous generation and follows in the same footsteps to provide richer, more immersive entertainment, and an overall experience that is optimized for speed and simplicity. The new Intel Core i3-8130U features 2 cores and 4 threads, up to 3.4 GHz and DDR4-2400 memory.

This rounds out the portfolio for the first mobile processors Intel introduced in the 8^th Gen Intel Core processor family in August. Expect to see new systems from our partners soon powered by the 8^th Gen Intel Core i3 that give consumers even more choice in finding a great laptop and 2 in 1 with the right balance of features, performance and price that fits their needs.
