Product Information
The Intel Core i5-2430M 3.0 GHz, which is code-named Sandy Bridge, was designed to handle graphic-intensive media. Its dual-core design ensures that each core can run a different task. This keeps your hardware from getting bogged down while running multiple applications and runs at a standard rate of 2.40 GHz or 2,400 MHz per core. When you need extra power, the speed can increase to 3.0 GHz or 3,000 MHz per core. This turbo boost is made possible thanks to Intel Turbo Boost Technology. With each core running at a high MHz, you can have more applications running on each core at a time.This unit is an especially good fit with slim laptops and ultrabooks for on-the-go MHz processing power. With this chipset, you can process all your data with speed and efficiency with its Turbo Boost MHz. This is due in part to the 3MB of Smart Cache in the unit. CPU Cache is a type of ultra-fast memory that is located on the unit itself. The CPU features a bus speed of 5 GT/s DMI. The unit features a TDP or thermal design power of 35 watts.This Intel Core i5 module, running at 3,000 MHz, has a max memory size of 16GB. The max memory size refers to the overall amount of RAM that this unit can support. This means that you can install up to 16GB of RAM that's powered by Intel Core. The 2430M supports DDR3 memory and a maximum of two memory channels. Specifications show that this unit has a max memory bandwidth of 21.3GB/s.The Intel Core i5 unit features Intel HD Graphics 3000. Its GPU runs at a frequency of 650MHz. It has a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.20GHz. This GPU is the integrated graphics processor, used if an additional graphic card is not also installed in the machine. The integrated GPU features Intel InTru 3D Technology. This allows the playback of 3D media in full 1080p HD. The integrated graphics that are able to be processed into this CPU also supports Intel programs like Quick Sync Video, Wireless Display, Flexible Display Interface, and Clear Video HD. This unit can support running two simultaneous displays.When looking for a unit that can run intense graphics or powerful software, look no further than the Intel Core i5-2430M 3.0 GHz CPU. The 2430M is a great fit for laptops, suitable for everything from web browsing and word processing to high-intensity gaming or video editing and rendering.Product Identifiers
