The Intel Core i3-2115C is a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in May 2012. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the Sandy Bridge architecture with Socket 1155. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 4 threads. Core i3-2115C has 3 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2000 MHz. Intel is making the Core i3-2115C on a 32 nm production node using 504 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Core i3-2115C, which limits its overclocking potential. With a TDP of 65 W, the Core i3-2115C 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 machine, Core i3-2115C uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics solution.
