Core i7-6785R Details

The Core i7-6785R stands out as a refined evolution of Intel's Skylake-H architecture, offering a balanced blend of performance and efficiency that was particularly well-suited for mobile and compact desktop platforms when it was released. While the processor itself is now several years old, its design still holds relevance in niche markets where integrated graphics and low power consumption are prioritized. As of March 2026, it remains a viable option for users who require a capable CPU without the need for a discrete GPU, though it is no longer competitive with modern mainstream offerings.

Built on a 14 nm process and featuring a quad-core, eight-thread design, the Core i7-6785R operates at a base frequency of 3.3 GHz and can boost up to 3.9 GHz, leveraging Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. The processor supports a wide range of memory types, including DDR4-2133, DDR3L-1600, and LPDDR3-1866, with a maximum memory capacity of 64 GB and a bandwidth of 31.79 GiB/s. It also supports ECC memory, making it suitable for workstations that require data integrity. The L3 cache measures 8 MiB, while L1 and L2 caches are 0.125 MiB and 1 MiB, respectively, ensuring fast access to frequently used data.

One of the most notable features of the Core i7-6785R is its integrated Iris Pro Graphics 580 GPU, which includes 72 execution units and can reach a burst frequency of 1.15 GHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and is capable of handling light gaming and multimedia tasks, though it is not designed for high-end graphics workloads. The processor operates at a TDP of 65 W and uses the FCBGA-1440 package, making it ideal for slim laptops and compact systems where thermal constraints are a concern.

In terms of performance, the Core i7-6785R achieves an overall score of 5504, placing it at #477 among 2060 processors in the benchmark database. Its single-core score of 5908 ranks it at #304, indicating strong performance in applications that rely heavily on clock speed and single-threaded efficiency. However, its multicore score of 4897 places it at #730, suggesting that while it performs well in single-threaded scenarios, it lags behind more modern multi-core processors in heavily parallel workloads. This performance profile makes it well-suited for tasks like office productivity, light content creation, and general computing, but less ideal for demanding applications such as 3D rendering or video editing.

The processor supports a wide array of advanced features, including Intel VT-x, VT-d, and Intel Trust Execution Technology for virtualization and security. It also includes AES-NI, AVX-2, and other instruction set extensions that enhance performance in encryption, multimedia, and scientific computing. The inclusion of Intel's Enhanced SpeedStep and Turbo Boost technologies allows the CPU to dynamically adjust its frequency based on workload, optimizing both performance and power efficiency.

Overall, the Core i7-6785R is best positioned as a mid-tier processor for users who prioritize integrated graphics and energy efficiency over raw performance. While it has been surpassed by newer generations of CPUs in both single-core and multicore performance, it remains a capable choice for light gaming, productivity, and multimedia tasks in systems where space and power constraints are a priority.
