Sure its nice to play with the high end processors and video cards, but when you get down to it, how relevant is that to the person looking to build a computer for the same amount of cash some of us enthusiasts spend on just video cards or high end CPUs alone? Not everyone has the budget, or realistically the need, for a $5000 behemoth of a PC when a dual-core $500 build with a low cost CPU will do the job. In steps the Core i3 lineup, of which the 2120 I am looking at today belongs. Last year we had some pretty potent Clarkdale offerings in the Core i5 655K and 661, which delivered great performance and overclocking. Intel has limited most overclocking on the Sandybridge architecture unless you have a K-SKU processor. These are currently limited to the 2500 and 2600K quad-core chips, not the low end dual-core offerings. Although it would be nice to go down that road for some low cost unlocked fun, so far it's not an option! The i3 2120 is a dual-core Sandybridge-based processor, running with a clock speed of 3.3GHz.
The Intel Core i3 2120 processor is a slightly faster version of the Core i3 2100. The two cores run at 3.3 GHz instead of 3.1 GHz, and although there's no Turbo mode, Hyper-threading allows the CPU to present two extra logical cores to the OS. The extra 200 MHz has improved performance by around 3%, allowing the Core i3 2120 to perform almost exactly like the AMD Phenom II 4 965 when running applications, but the Intel processor retains a serious lead when it comes to video gaming. For more information about the dual-core Core i3 2000 series, we suggest you read our detailed review of the Intel Core i3 2100. There's also our performance index, which covers all the processors we've tested so far and allows you to compare them at a glance.
