Intel’s newest CPU has just two cores, but we actually want to try it

A new Intel CPU has just leaked, and it’s among the more intriguing new processors we’ve seen in some time. The Intel Processor 310 is a brand new product based on the company’s latest Raptor Lake-S architecture, but it has just two cores.

This tiny amount of processing cores stands in stark contrast to most of the rest of the company’s Raptor Lake lineup, with its Intel Core i-branded chips bottoming out at four cores and rising to 24 cores for its flagship Core i9 14900K. As such, it’s fair to say this new Intel chip won’t be a best gaming CPU contender. However, there’s enough here that makes us wonder just what it would be like to use such a lowly chip as a gaming CPU.
