    Hello, I'm having a hard time finding any benchmarks for the core i3's Intel HD graphics. All I see are core i5/i7. I'd be interested to see how much of a difference if any there is between core i3 and i5. Can anyone point me in the right direction? :)

    I am working on a review of an Acer right now with the Core i3 and Intel Hd graphics. So far about 5000 in pcmark05 and 1700 in 3dmark06. wprime score for the 330 was ~23s. I can have some exact numbers tomorrow morning.

    The i3, depending on which model it is, mostly likely has similar to lower benchmarks than the i5 and i7s.

    Hey thanks Kevin! So 1700 compared to ~1900 for the i5 in the Lenovo x201 review. Not much of a difference. :) I would have no qualms with getting an i3 system then.

    Intel Core i3 lacks turboboost, so it wont disable cores and auto overclock.
    Still, its pretty fast compared budget C2D cpus so its not a bad purchase. :)
