    Description

    8th Generation Intel i3-8130U | Review

    The Intel Core i3-8130U is a power-efficient low-end processor for thin and light laptops and  2 in 1s. The dual-core processor comes with 4 Threads and is based on Whiskey Lake-U architecture. The 8145U has a base clock speed of 2.1 GHz and the clock rate can be turbo boosted to up to 3.9 GHz(one core) or 3.7 GHz(Dual cores). When compared with the previous generation (i3-7020U), the 8130U sees a slight improvement in the L3 cache. Intel has specified a TDP of 15 Watts and depending on the use case this can vary from 7.5 Watts to 25 Watts. The i3-8130U is mostly found in thin and light laptops. The 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8130U processor comes brings an integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi to mainstream thin and light laptops for the first time which means up to 12 times faster internet speed.

    Performance

    The i3-8130U is almost as fast as i7-7600U if we talk about single-core performance and you can overall expect a performance similar to that of Core i7-7500U. It’s good enough for daily however ram may possibly be a bottleneck. However, it’s not an ideal choice for multitasking and other complicated tasks that could benefit from multiple cores. Compared to a five-year-old PC it offers up to 2 times gain in performance and double-digit gains in office productivity for everyday web browsing and light content creation. As for day-to-day tasks such as web browsing, MS Office, Slack, and watching Netflix at 4k the i3-8130U is an excellent solution.
