The Intel Core i3-370M was a mobile processor with 2 cores, launched in June 2010. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the Arrandale architecture with Socket G1. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 4 threads. Core i3-370M has 3 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.4 GHz. Intel is building the Core i3-370M on a 32 nm production process using 382 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Core i3-370M, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 35 W, the Core i3-370M consumes only little energy. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory. For communication with other components in the machine, Core i3-370M uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i3-370M, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware.
