Name: Intel Core i3-6100 - Dual-Core 3.7 GHz Processor
Brand: Intel

Intel Core i3-6100 brings reliable dual‑core performance to mainstream desktops and was launched in Q3'15 as part of Intel's 6th Generation (Skylake) family.

The Intel Core i3-6100 is a dual‑core, four‑thread processor with a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and 3 MB Intel Smart Cache, designed for everyday computing, multimedia and light content creation.

Built on a 14 nm process and supporting LGA 1151 (Socket H4), this boxed CPU includes a cooler and has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 51 W, making it straightforward to install in standard desktop systems.

Memory support is flexible, with dual‑channel support for DDR4 and DDR3L (up to 64 GB total) across speeds including 1333, 1600, 1866 and 2133 MHz, and a maximum memory bandwidth of 34.1 GB/s.

Graphics are handled on‑board by Intel HD Graphics 530, with a base frequency of 350 MHz and dynamic boost up to 1050 MHz. The integrated GPU supports up to three displays and 4K output (DisplayPort/eDP at 4096 x 2304 @60 Hz, HDMI at 4096 x 2304 @24 Hz).

Connectivity and expansion are well supported with up to 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes (configurations such as 1x16 or 2x8), DMI3 bus, and compatibility with chipsets like Z170, H170, B150 and others. The CPU also includes virtualization (VT-x, VT-d), Intel Hyper‑Threading, Quick Sync Video and other media/security technologies.

Typical use cases for the Intel Core i3-6100 include office productivity, web browsing, HD video playback and light photo or video editing, or serving as a reliable CPU for budget gaming rigs when paired with a discrete GPU.

Key selling points: dual‑core with 4 threads at 3.7 GHz, integrated HD Graphics 530 with 4K support, low 51 W TDP, included cooler and broad motherboard compatibility.
