What the Core i3-4370T is
The Core i3-4370T tops 35 W Haswell i3 parts on LGA 1150 for compact desktops. Intel set two cores and four threads at a fixed 3.3 GHz with 4 MB of Smart Cache. Power is 35 W on 22 nm from March 2015. The extra cache over the 4170T helps office multitasking.
Fixed 3.3 GHz gives the fastest dual core threads in the 35 W Haswell class. Four threads handle calls with background tools. Slim OEM bodies with limited airflow suit the low power rating. No turbo means steady behavior for managed images.
Graphics are HD Graphics 4600 class for Haswell 43xx desktop parts, driving office panels without a card. DDR3-1333 and 1600 over two channels feed the chip. Buyers pick the 4370T where top low power i3 threads must fit a slim Haswell chassis.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 4370T fits LGA 1150 on H81, B85, H97 and Z97 with Haswell BIOS builds. Slim OEM boards list T SKUs with 35 W thermal profiles. Standard ATX boards accept it but waste VRM capacity. Check the maker CPU list for T validation on early 8 series boards.
DDR3 is the only memory type. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers chipset pairing. LGA 1151 never accepts Haswell T parts.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3-1333 and 1600 in two channels to 32 GB suit compact office PCs. Eight gigabytes with an SSD covers fleets. Dual channel pairs help integrated graphics in meetings.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU serves a single low profile slot. Most T deployments stay integrated. A small card fits where dual 4K output needs help.
Cooling follows the 75 mm LGA 1150 pattern in the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide. Low profile 35 W sinks run quietly. Keep slim vents free for sustained 3.3 GHz.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket the Intel Core i3-4170T at 3.2 GHz with 3 MB of cache below shares boards and power for lower cost. The Intel Core i5-5675C is a different 65 W Broadwell class needing better cooling and a Broadwell BIOS, so treat it as a platform decision rather than a drop in T upgrade.
A new socket needs a new board. The 4370T leads 35 W Haswell i3 builds where threads and cache decide.
