Intel Core i3 lineup currently consists of desktop and mobile Core i3 families. Desktop Core i3 microprocessors are packaged in 1150-, 1155- or 1156-land Land-Grid Array (LGA) packages, and require socket 1150, 1155 or socket 1156 motherboards. Mobile Core i3 CPUs are manufactured in BGA and micro-PGA packages. BGA processors are soldered directly on motherboards. Depending on generation, micro-PGA mobile processors utilize socket G1, G2 or G3.
