Core i3-6167U Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i3-6167U remains a niche offering within the broader mobile processor lineup, representing an older generation of computing technology. While it was once positioned as a mid-tier mobile CPU for light productivity and multimedia use, its relevance today is largely confined to legacy systems or low-power devices where integrated graphics and energy efficiency are prioritized over raw performance. Built on Intel's Skylake microarchitecture and fabricated on a 14 nm process, the i3-6167U is a dual-core, quad-threaded processor with a base clock of 2.7 GHz and a locked multiplier, indicating limited overclocking potential. Despite its age—released over a decade ago—it still holds a place in the ecosystem due to its integrated Iris Graphics 550 GPU and support for modern instruction sets.

The Core i3-6167U operates at a TDP of 28 W, with a downclocked mode of 23 W, allowing for efficient power usage in thin-and-light laptops. It supports up to 32 GB of DDR4-2133 or LPDDR3-1866 memory across two channels, delivering a maximum bandwidth of 31.79 GB/s. Its cache hierarchy includes 0.125 MiB of L1, 0.5 MiB of L2, and a shared 3 MiB L3 cache, which contributes to its modest performance profile. The processor uses the FCBGA-1356 package and is compatible with the LGA-1151 socket, a common interface for its era.

In terms of integrated graphics, the Iris Graphics 550 provides a base frequency of 300 MHz and can boost up to 1.0 GHz, supporting up to three displays and offering a reasonable level of performance for HD video playback and basic gaming. The GPU features 48 execution units and is capable of handling light workloads, though it cannot compete with modern discrete or even integrated solutions. The i3-6167U also supports a range of advanced technologies, including AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel’s virtualization extensions, which enhance security and data processing capabilities.

Benchmarking reveals a balanced but unremarkable performance profile. The processor achieves a single-core score of 4,901, ranking it #1002 out of 2,060 processors, and a multicore score of 5,288, placing it #476. Its overall score of 5,056 ranks it #824, showing that while it holds up reasonably well in single-threaded tasks, it trails significantly behind modern high-performance CPUs. In the top 50 overall list, it is far behind leaders like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K, which score over 9,000. Similarly, in single-core performance, it falls behind leaders such as the Core Ultra 9 285K, which scores over 8,700.

Given its age and limited scalability, the Core i3-6167U is best suited for basic computing tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and media consumption. It may still be found in older business laptops or budget systems where cost and power efficiency are key. However, for users seeking higher performance or future-proofing, more recent processors from Intel or AMD offer substantially better value. While the i3-6167U remains functional, its era has passed, and it is no longer competitive in today’s performance landscape.
