Core i5-3427U 1.8GHz Review
Core i5-3427U 1.8GHz is a power optimized middle-class CPU part of the Core i5 Series released by Intel between 2010 and 2012.
It's based on the Ivy Bridge architecture and therefore features integrated graphics called Intel HD Graphics 4000 and it's manufactured with 22 nm. Previous Sandy Bridge features are also present, such as Turbo Boost and Hyper Threading.
It's built with 2 cores and each core features 2 threads, making a total of 4.
It's optimized for low power consumption and so the performance is not enough run the most demanding games (The Witcher II for example) at the highest settings, even paired with a powerful GPU and even modern demanding games like Crysis 2 and Skyrim V might require reduced settings.
