Review: Pretty fast for medium gaming, programing and graphic use. - Just built a PC with the i3 6100 processor. Since I had 24 Gbs of DDR3 RAM my initial finding was that I could not use these with new Gen6 Intel processors. However, there are motherboards which do support Intel 6th gen processor with DDR3 RAM. Right now I've got this processor working fine with Asus B150M-Plus D3 motherboard. The speed is blazing fast compared to what I upgraded from which is a Phenom X3 processor with 8 Gb RAM. The built in graphics processor is fine, I can play Street Fighter 4 with almost all settings ON with zero lag. This was not the case with the Phenom X3 processor. The performance observed when converting RAW files to Adobe DNG was also pretty fast, faster than anything I've seen including mobile Core i7 processors on Dell 7000 laptop. I have yet to test running virtual machines which is something I want to use my PC for. Based on the first few days of usage I totally recommend this processor to anyone looking for a powerful home PC for medium gaming, programming and graphic use. Review: LowEnd Processor For Budget PC [Images Attached] - The Core i3-6100 sits on the current bottom end of Intel's 6th-Generation "Core" chip stack. There are two slightly higher-clocked Core i3 chips available, as well. But the Core i3-6100 is arguably the best value, with a 3.7GHz clock speed and integrated HD 530 graphics that are just slightly (by 100MHz) down-clocked compared to its much-costlier counterparts. The other notable detail in the chart above is that Intel's Core i3 chips are rated at 47 watts, while AMD's high-end APUs (and the Athlon X4 880K) are rated at 95 watts. While TDP (thermal design power, a measurement of heat output) generally doesn't translate to exact power consumption numbers, it's clear that Intel's CPUs still have a huge advantage when it comes to performance per watt. As we'll see, the Core i3 chip generally outperforms AMD's competing chips on most CPU-specific tasks. If electricity is expensive where you live, that may be reason enough to opt for an Intel chip over AMD, though if you're going to add a high-end graphics card in your system as well, it will consume much more power when gaming than any one of these processors. Also note that, like the Core i7-6700K, this chip requires a new motherboard with an LGA 1151 socket. You can’t drop it into an existing Z97- or H97-chipset motherboard. And you likely won't be able to carry over old RAM, either, as most new Intel-based boards require DDR4. We’ve been quite impressed with the new features that have landed on many of the new LGA 1551-equipped Z170 motherboards. Most of the new features have to do with extremely speedy storage via PCI Express x4 M.2 SSD slots and ports for USB 3.1 Gen 2, which doubles the theoretical bandwidth over USB 3.0. (See our comprehensive primer on USB 3.1.) For details about these new features and others, be sure to check out our review of the MSI Z170A Gaming M5, a sub-$200 board that delivers some of the best of what the new Z170 boards have to offer. That being said, if you're planning on building a tricked-out PC with more than two graphics cards and multiple M.2 drives, Intel's Z170 chipset is definitely more advanced, and it offers more bandwidth (via PCI Express 3.0 lanes) than AMD's aging high-end FM2+ A88X chipset. So if loads of high-end components are in the cards for your next build, we'd definitely go the Intel route. ## Features - Compatible Chipsets: Intel H170 chipset, Intel H110 chipset, Intel Z170 chipset, Intel Q170 chipset, Intel Q150 chipset and Intel B150 chipset - 3MB cache - 14nm architecture - Processor Graphics: Intel HD 530 graphics - Frequency: 3.7GHz ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015VPX2EO | | Box Contents | Processor | | Brand | Intel | | Brand Name | Intel | | CPU Manufacturer | Intel | | CPU Model | Core i3 | | CPU Socket | LGA 1151 | | CPU Speed | 3.7 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 3 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,525 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00675901364812, 00735858305532, 00735858305549, 05032037079051 | | Item Type Name | Intel Corp.
