Verdict

The Intel Core i3-7100H is a 7th Generation 'Kaby Lake' mobile processor designed for notebooks, featuring 2 physical cores and 4 threads via Hyper-Threading technology. It operates at a fixed base frequency of 3.00 GHz and includes 3 MB of L3 cache, a 35W TDP, and integrated Intel HD Graphics 630. Main advantages include a relatively high clock speed for its class, which provides solid single-core performance for everyday tasks, and support for modern video codecs like H.265/HEVC and VP9. However, the processor lacks Turbo Boost technology to increase speeds under heavy loads, and its higher power consumption makes it unsuitable for thin and light ultrabooks compared to its U-series counterparts.
