The Intel Core i5-3350P is a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in September 2012. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Ivy Bridge architecture with Socket 1155. Core i5-3350P has 6 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.1 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.3 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is making the Core i5-3350P on a 22 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Core i5-3350P, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 69 W, the Core i5-3350P consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the system, Core i5-3350P uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i5-3350P, 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.
