Intel Prepares Overclocking Friendly Core i3-2120K CPU

@ 2011/05/20
In the coming months, Intel will expand its Sandy Bridge processor lineup with a new K-series Core i3 CPU that targets enthusiast users and features dual processing cores, a 3.3GHz base frequency, and an unlocked multiplier.

The chip is known as the Core i3-2120K and, once launched, it will become Intel's fastest Sandy Bridge CPU with two processing cores.

But its most important feature is the unlocked multiplier design, as this means that overclockers will be able to push the operating frequencies of the processor further than Intel's specifications.

Outside of these modifications, the 2120K shares most of its features with the rest of Intel's Core i3 CPU models and features 3MB of Level 3 cache, Intel HD 2000 integrated graphics, an integrated memory controller, and Hyper-Threading support.
