Core i3-6100H Details

The Core i3-6100H ranks just behind the Core i3-9100F and Xeon E3-1245 v6 in multicore performance, yet it trails slightly in overall capability compared to its more powerful counterparts. As of March 2026, this processor remains relevant for basic computing tasks but is clearly outdated in the current market landscape. Built on Intel's Skylake architecture and fabricated on a 14 nm process, the Core i3-6100H features a dual-core design with four threads, thanks to Intel's Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) support. It operates at a base frequency of 2.7 GHz with a 27x multiplier and supports up to 31.79 GiB/s memory bandwidth across two channels, using DDR3L-1600, DDR4-2133, or LPDDR3-1866 memory types.

The chip includes 3 MiB of L3 cache, 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, and 0.125 MiB of L1 cache, with a TDP of 35 W and a BGA-1440 package. While not designed for high-end performance, the processor integrates Intel HD Graphics 530, which supports up to 900 MHz in burst mode and offers up to three display outputs, making it suitable for light multimedia use. The i3-6100H supports modern features such as AVX, AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel VT-x, along with technologies like Enhanced SpeedStep and Intel Smart Response. Its single-core score of 4522 places it just below the Phenom II X6 1100T and Xeon E3-1265L v2, while its multicore score of 4861 positions it around the 772nd rank out of 2060 processors.

In comparison to the top-tier CPUs, such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX or Core Ultra 9 285K, the Core i3-6100H demonstrates a significant performance gap, particularly in multi-threaded workloads. However, it remains competitive with older-generation Intel CPUs like the Core i5-3230M and Core i7-2630QM. Its overall score of 4658 reflects a balanced but modest performance profile. For users requiring basic productivity, web browsing, or light content creation, the Core i3-6100H remains a viable option—especially in low-power mobile systems—though it is no longer suited for demanding applications or modern gaming.
