Review on Intel I3 6100 Cache Processor BX80662I36100 by Jihu Gim ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, best quality.

The processor for the case when, in addition to the usual office and home tasks, you also want to be able to play. Naturally, you need to understand that these are just 2 cores, i. E. heavy games will hit a bottleneck at maximum, and video rendering and 3d modeling on the i5 and i7 will go much faster. Well, they cost two or three times more. At the same time, the price / quality ratio of the entire Skylake line is the best for 6100 (and also for Celerons, if the computer is only for office tasks). 6300, with a slight increase in frequency, is no longer much cheaper than i5, so there is no point in them. And vice versa, pentiums with a slightly lower price will be much worse in terms of performance. At the same time, the percentage is very cold, it works quietly with any cooling. You can plug it into any case, a tower with copper pipes and a 120 mm fan is not needed here. Although, if you still install a tower, the cooler will work silently even at full load. The integrated graphics actually matched the level of 730, i. E. the heaviest games, of course, will not pull even at a minimum, but dotA, tanks, cs, etc. relatively undemanding games will do just fine. Do not forget that this is still integrated graphics, which until recently even in the office slowed down. :) In the presence of a discrete card (GF 950 level or equivalent from the red ones), it pulls heavy games in 1920 on settings between medium and high. And lastly, it's a new slot, which means an easy upgrade. In a couple of years, we just stick an i7-6700 into it (or whatever Intel will give birth to by that time) and get an almost twofold increase in performance at minimal cost.

Pros
  • - Little heat dissipation - Good upgrade potential - Integrated graphics, - Sufficient performance for most tasks - Price-quality ratio
Cons
  • - 2 physical cores.
