Intel I5 M430 Generation

  1. Core I5-3330
  2. Intel I5 M430 Generation Processor

Jun 05, 2015 My current laptop is a Core i5-430M (1st gen) 2.27GHz (boost to 2.53GHz), 4GB ram, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 (512mb dedicated memory +shared), WD Black Hard Drive. The most intensive applications I need my laptop for are Lightroom & Photoshop. The Intel Core i5-430M was a mobile processor with 2 cores, launched in January 2010. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Arrandale architecture with Socket G1. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 4 threads. Core i5-430M has 3MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.267 GHz by default, but can boost up to 2. Intel Core i5 430M / 2.26 GHz processor (mobile) overview and full product specs on CNET.
