HP Intel Core i3-550 processor 3.2 GHz 4 MB L3 Tray

As the first level in Intel's new processor family, the previous generation Intel® Core™ i3 processor is the perfect entry point for a fast, responsive PC experience. This processor comes equipped with Intel® HD Graphics, an advanced video engine that delivers smooth, high-quality HD video playback, and advanced 3D capabilities, providing an ideal graphics solution for everyday computing.
A smart choice for home and office, the Intel Core i3 processor also features Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology),¹ which enables each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering the performance you need for smart multitasking.

32nm dual-core processing
runs two independent processor cores in one physical package at the same frequency.

Intel® HT Technology
delivers two processing threads per physical core for a total of four threads for massive computational throughput. This 4-way multi-task processing allows each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time.

Intel® Smart Cache
is shared cache dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload. This efficient, dual-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from the fast cache, significantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.

Intel® HD Graphics
provides superb visual performance for sharper images, richer color, and life-like video and audio. Available on select models of the Intel® Core™ processor family.
