Intel Core i3-3240 Desktop Processor — 3M Cache | 3.40 GHz | LGA1155 | 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge | 55W TDP | Pulled | 1-Year Warranty

The pulled Intel Core i3-3240 is built for budget-conscious home users, students, small offices, and IT administrators deploying affordable LGA1155 3rd Gen desktop systems for everyday productivity, document and spreadsheet work, web browsing, email, video streaming, and light computing use. It is well-suited for refurbished PC builds, educational institutions, call centres, point-of-sale systems, and cost-efficient office workstation deployments where reliable 3rd Gen Intel Ivy Bridge platform performance at a minimal investment is the priority.

The Core i3-3240 features 2 cores and 4 threads via Intel Hyper-Threading Technology at a consistent 3.40GHz base frequency — without Turbo Boost — for stable, predictable everyday performance across all common workloads. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500 with 6 Execution Units and up to 1.05GHz dynamic frequency provides display output for everyday desktop and standard multimedia use without a discrete GPU, with hardware-accelerated Intel Quick Sync Video for fast video transcoding, Intel InTru 3D, and Intel Clear Video HD Technology. The 22nm Ivy Bridge process node delivers improved efficiency over the previous Sandy Bridge generation, running at 55W TDP within a compact 37.5×37.5mm package. DDR3-1333/1600 dual-channel memory support up to 32GB ensures compatibility with widely available low-cost DDR3 memory across all LGA1155 300-series motherboards. Intel AES-NI hardware encryption acceleration, VT-x with EPT, and Execute Disable Bit provide security features suited to office deployments. PCIe 3.0 support enables discrete GPU and storage expansion on compatible motherboards. Each pulled unit has been individually cleaned and tested for full operational functionality before dispatch.
