Core i3-2328M Details

For users seeking a budget-friendly mobile processor with integrated graphics, the Intel Core i3-2328M remains a viable option despite its age. Launched in September 2012, this Sandy Bridge M processor is now over a decade old, placing it firmly in the legacy category. Designed for mobile systems, it features a 32 nm manufacturing process and operates at a base frequency of 2.2 GHz, with a maximum turbo frequency of 2.2 GHz due to its lack of dynamic boosting. Built on Intel’s Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, the chip delivers a balanced mix of performance and power efficiency, making it suitable for light productivity, web browsing, and media playback in older laptops.

The Core i3-2328M is a dual-core processor with hyper-threading, allowing it to handle four threads simultaneously. It includes 3 MB of L3 cache and 0.5 MB of L2 cache, with a 64-bit architecture and support for x86-64 instructions. The processor supports DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1066 memory in a dual-channel configuration, delivering up to 19.87 GiB/s of memory bandwidth. It operates at a TDP of 35 W, making it energy-efficient for its time, and is compatible with Socket G2 (rPGA988B). The integrated Intel HD 3000 GPU provides basic graphics capabilities, with 12 execution units, a base frequency of 650 MHz, and a burst frequency of 1100 MHz, supporting up to two displays.

Despite its age, the Core i3-2328M supports a range of modern features, including AVX, AES-NI, and Intel VT-x for hardware virtualization. It also includes technologies like Enhanced SpeedStep and Intel Flex Memory Access, which help optimize performance and power consumption. The processor’s support for ECC memory and extended page tables further enhances its reliability and virtualization performance.

In benchmark testing, the Core i3-2328M scores 4277 in the overall Passmark score, ranking #1552 out of 2060 processors. Its single-core score is 4213 (#1562), and its multicore score is 4372 (#1529). These results place it behind modern budget processors like the Celeron J3455 and Pentium G3220 but ahead of older dual-core chips such as the Core i7-620LM and Phenom II N660. While the processor’s performance is modest by today’s standards, it remains competitive within its class of legacy mobile CPUs.

As of March 2026, the Core i3-2328M is best suited for entry-level laptops or systems where power efficiency and cost are prioritized over raw performance. It is ideal for users who need basic computing tasks without the need for high-end graphics or heavy multitasking. While it cannot compete with modern processors in the top 50 rankings—such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX or Core Ultra 9 285K—it remains a functional choice for legacy systems and light workloads.
