Core i3-2348M Details

Built on Intel's Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and manufactured using a 32 nm process, the Core i3-2348M is a mobile processor designed for mainstream laptops and compact systems. Released in 2012, this CPU is now over a decade old, placing it firmly in the category of legacy hardware. While it no longer competes with modern processors, it remains a notable example of Intel's early 2010s mobile computing strategy, combining integrated graphics with efficient power delivery for its time.

The Core i3-2348M features a dual-core design with four threads, enabled by Intel's Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) technology, allowing it to handle basic multitasking and light productivity workloads effectively. With a base clock of 2.3 GHz and a turbo frequency of up to 2.8 GHz, it operates within a 35 W TDP, making it suitable for thin-and-light laptops. It supports DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 memory across two channels, with a maximum capacity of 16 GB and a memory bandwidth of 19.87 GiB/s. The processor also includes 3 MiB of L3 cache, 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, and 0.125 MiB of L1 cache, providing sufficient on-die storage for its era.

Integrated into the processor is Intel's HD Graphics 3000, featuring 12 execution units capable of reaching a maximum frequency of 1.15 GHz. This GPU supports up to two displays and delivers acceptable performance for basic multimedia playback, office applications, and casual gaming. The processor supports a wide range of modern instructions, including SSE, AVX, and AES-NI, ensuring compatibility with contemporary software even on older systems.

In benchmark testing, the Core i3-2348M achieves a single-core score of 4212, placing it at #1564 out of 2060 processors, and a multicore score of 4572, ranking #1131. Its overall score of 4356 lands it at #1462, indicating that it is significantly outpaced by modern CPUs. While it compares favorably with some older dual-core processors like the Core i3-2330M, it trails behind contemporary mobile chips such as the Core i7-7560U and the A10-7890K. In the top 50 overall performance list, it falls well short of leaders like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and the Core Ultra 9 285K, which exceed 9,000 points.

As of March 2026, the Core i3-2348M is best suited for legacy systems, low-power laptops, or embedded applications where power efficiency and cost are more critical than raw performance. While it lacks the performance and features of modern processors, its integrated graphics and low TDP make it a viable option for basic computing tasks in older devices. For users seeking a capable modern CPU, this processor is no longer competitive in the current market.
