Reviews for the Intel Core i3 330M processor
The Intel Core i3-330M is a lower-middle class dual core CPU for laptops and clocks with 2.16 GHz.
The difference to the Core i5-430M is the lacking Turbo Boost overclocking and the slower core speed. Each core is based on the Nehalem (Westmere) micro-architecture.
Hyperthreading enables the Dual Core CPU to handle 4 threads at once (for a better usage of the pipeline). A feature of the new Core i3-330M is the integrated graphics card called Intel HD Graphics or GMA HD and a DDR3 1066 MHz memory controller.

Action
- It should handle all applications well, but some demanding games could profit from a faster CPU.
- The 32nm cpu cores of the Westmere generation can also process some new instructions to accelerate AES encryptions.
- In the i3-330M Intel has deactivated these new AES functions.
- The integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD (GMA HD) graphics card is known to be clocked up to 500 MHz and should be clearly faster than the old GMA 4500MHD.
- The Core i5 and i7 models should still be a bit faster because of the higher max.
- clock speed of the GPU. A GeForce 9400M (ION) should still be a faster (especially as Nvidia and ATI cards have a better driver support than Intel up to now).
- According to rumors, the GMA core will also use the Turbo Mode regulate the clock speed.
- The power consumption of 35 Watt TDP (max.) counts for the whole package and therefore it is clearly better than the 35 Watt TDP of the Core 2 Duo T-series (CPU alone).
