About Hardware Intel Core i3 2330M

The Intel Core i3-2330M is a dual-core mobile processor launched in 2011 as part of Intel’s second-generation Sandy Bridge lineup. Designed for mid-range laptops, this processor features 2 cores and 4 threads thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, allowing it to handle light to moderate multitasking workloads efficiently. Operating at a fixed clock speed of 2.2 GHz and built on the 32nm process, the i3-2330M does not include Intel Turbo Boost, which limits its ability to dynamically increase performance under heavier loads, but it remains a solid choice for everyday use.

With a TDP of 35W, the i3-2330M balances power consumption and performance reasonably well for its era. It integrates Intel HD Graphics 3000, a GPU with a base clock of 650 MHz and a dynamic frequency up to 1.1 GHz. While not designed for modern gaming or demanding graphic applications, this integrated GPU handles HD video playback, basic 3D rendering, and older or lightweight games at low settings with relative ease. Users looking for casual computing and multimedia playback will find it sufficient.

In real-world usage, the Core i3-2330M performs well for standard computing tasks such as web browsing, streaming, office productivity (e.g., Word, Excel), and simple photo editing. Its Hyper-Threading capabilities give it a performance edge over older dual-core processors that lack thread duplication. However, the lack of Turbo Boost and a relatively low base frequency mean that it can struggle under CPU-intensive workloads like video rendering or large spreadsheet processing, especially when compared to more modern CPUs.

This specific configuration was tested on a SAMSUNG 300E4Z, a laptop originally shipped with an Intel Celeron B815 processor but later upgraded to the i3-2330M for better performance. With 4GB of DDR3 dual-channel memory and Windows 7 installed, the system runs smoothly for basic daily use, making the i3-2330M a practical upgrade option for budget-conscious users seeking improved performance without replacing their entire system.

Hardware Detail:

Device: SAMSUNG 300E4Z (This device originally used Celeron B815 which was upgraded to i3 2330M.)
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel
OS: Windows 7

About Hardware MediaTek MT6750

The MediaTek MT6750 is a mid-range mobile System-on-Chip (SoC) released in 2016, commonly found in budget-friendly Android smartphones. It features an octa-core CPU based on the ARM Cortex-A53 architecture, arranged in a big.LITTLE configuration — 4 cores clocked at 1.5 GHz for performance tasks and 4 cores at 1.0 GHz for power efficiency.

Manufactured using the 28nm process, the MT6750 supports a range of mid-tier features such as HD (720p) display output, up to 16MP camera support, and 4G LTE Cat. 6 connectivity. While adequate at the time of release, the 28nm node results in higher power consumption and less efficiency compared to newer SoCs built on smaller processes like 12nm or 7nm.

The integrated Mali-T860 MP2 GPU offers modest graphical performance, capable of handling light gaming, video playback, and everyday apps like messaging and browsing at low to medium graphics settings.

While not designed for heavy multitasking or modern games, the MT6750 still delivers acceptable performance for basic smartphone use, especially in devices with good RAM and storage configurations.
