Core i3-4100U is a mainstream ULV processor in the Intel's Haswell line up launched in 2013. The term mainstream is differentiated from the performance segment priced significantly higher and therefore, out of the reach of "maintream" customers. The term ULV, if you are un initiated ( we do respect the highly knowledgeable readers), stands for Ultra Low Voltage, which essentially means that the processor works on a comparatively low core voltage, and, therefore, consumes much lower power, making them suitable for thin notebooks with higher battery life.
Haswell is a successor to the Intel's Ivy Bridge platform. But the performance improvement especially in the CPU is not as dramatic as has been in the earlier launches of architecture. The optimization in the branch prediction and others has improved the CPU performance by about 10% for the same clock frequency. The Haswell not supports AVX2 and FMA instructions.
