Core i3-4000M Details

The Intel Core i3-4000M stands out for its efficiency and integrated graphics performance among low-power mobile processors, though it is now considered a legacy part by modern standards. Launched in September 2013, this Haswell-based CPU is built on a 22 nm process and features a 2.4 GHz base clock with a turbo frequency of 2.7 GHz. Despite its age, it remains relevant for basic productivity and light multimedia tasks due to its 37 W TDP and support for DDR3L memory up to 1600 MHz. The processor is designed for mobile systems using the FC-PGA946 socket, making it compatible with a range of laptops from that era.

Equipped with two cores and four threads thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, the i3-4000M delivers a balanced performance profile. It includes 3 MB of L3 cache, 61 KiB of L1 cache, and 244 KiB of L2 cache, contributing to its responsiveness in multi-threaded applications. The integrated Intel HD 4600 graphics solution supports up to three displays and can reach a burst frequency of 1100 MHz, offering capable performance for everyday video playback and light gaming. The GPU is built on Intel's architecture and supports modern features like DirectX 11.1 and OpenCL 1.2.

In benchmark testing, the Core i3-4000M achieves an overall score of 4480, placing it at #1307 among 2060 processors. Its single-core performance scores 4558, ranking #1242, while its multicore score reaches 4362, placing it at #1546. These results indicate that the CPU performs comparably to many mid-tier mobile processors from its time, particularly in single-threaded workloads. However, its multicore performance lags behind modern processors, especially in comparison to high-end CPUs in the top 50, such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX or Core Ultra 9 285K.

The processor supports a wide range of Intel technologies, including AES-NI, AVX, AVX2, and Intel vPro, enabling secure virtualization and accelerated data processing. It also supports ECC memory, though this is limited to certain configurations. Despite being over a decade old, the i3-4000M remains a viable option for users seeking a low-cost, energy-efficient system for office applications, web browsing, and media consumption. As of March 2026, it serves as a reliable but outdated choice in the mobile computing landscape.
