In the tables below, we compare the main features of the CPUs included in our review.
| CPU | Cores | HT | IGP | Internal Clock | Turbo Clock | Core | Tech. | TDP | Socket |
| Core 2 Quad Q8300 | 4 | No | No | 2.5 GHz | No | Yorkfield | 45 nm | 95 W | LGA775 |
| Core i3-4150 | 2 | Yes | Yes | 3.5 GHz | No | Haswell | 22 nm | 54 W | LGA1150 |
| Pentium G3220 | 2 | No | Yes | 3.0 GHz | No | Haswell | 22 nm | 53 W | LGA1150 |
Below you can see the memory configuration for each CPU.
| CPU | L2 Cache | L3 Cache | Memory Support | Memory Channels |
| Core 2 Quad Q8300 | 4 MiB | No | Up to DDR3-1066* | Two* |
| Core i3-4150 | 2 x 256 kiB | 3 MiB | Up to DDR3-1600 | Two |
| Pentium G3220 | 2 x 256 kiB | 3 MiB | Up to DDR3-1333 | Two |
* On LGA 775 CPUs, the memory controlled was located at the chipset, not at the processor. So, those characteristics refer to the Intel G41 chipset.
