Core m3-6Y30 Details

Designed for users prioritizing power efficiency and portability in ultra-thin mobile devices, the Intel Core m3-6Y30 stands as a compact yet capable processor from the Skylake-Y family. Launched in September 2015, this mobile CPU is now over eight years old, reflecting its position as a legacy part in today's computing landscape. Despite its age, the Core m3-6Y30 remains relevant for basic productivity tasks, web browsing, and light multimedia use in low-power laptops and 2-in-1 convertibles. Its low thermal envelope and integrated graphics make it ideal for always-on devices where battery life is paramount.

Built on Intel’s 14 nm process, the Core m3-6Y30 features a dual-core design with Hyper-Threading, enabling four simultaneous threads. Base frequency is 900 MHz, with a turbo boost capability reaching up to 2.2 GHz on a single core and 2.0 GHz on two cores. The processor includes 4 MiB of L3 cache, 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, and 0.125 MiB of L1 cache, supporting efficient data access for everyday workloads. It operates at a TDP of 4.5 W, with a downclocked 3.8 W mode at 600 MHz and an upclocked 7 W mode at 1.5 GHz, offering flexible power scaling. The chip uses a BGA 1515 package and supports dual-channel DDR3L-1600 and LPDDR3-1866 memory, with a maximum of 16 GB of system memory.

Integrated into the Core m3-6Y30 is Intel HD Graphics 515, featuring 24 execution units and a base frequency of 300 MHz, capable of boosting to 850 MHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and is sufficient for HD video playback and light graphical tasks, though it lacks the power for modern gaming or intensive graphics work. The processor also supports a wide array of instruction sets, including AVX, AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel's virtualization technologies such as VT-x and VT-d, enhancing performance and security in virtualized environments.

In benchmark testing, the Core m3-6Y30 achieves an Overall Score of 4439, ranking #1345 out of 2060 processors. Its Singlecore Score is 4456, placing it #1334, and its Multicore Score is 4413, ranking #1427. These results indicate that while the CPU remains competitive in single-threaded performance, its multi-core capabilities are modest compared to modern processors. It outperforms several older and lower-tier CPUs, including the Core i3-7100U and A8-3530MX, but falls behind more recent mobile and desktop chips. In the top 50 lists, the Core m3-6Y30 ranks far below the current leaders, such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K, which exceed 8,000 in single-core and 12,000 in multicore scores.

As of March 2026, the Core m3-6Y30 serves as a reliable option for legacy systems or entry-level devices where energy efficiency and low cost are more critical than raw performance. While it lacks the power of modern processors, its integrated graphics, low TDP, and support for essential features make it suitable for light office use, media consumption, and educational applications. For users upgrading from older systems or maintaining a low-power device, the Core m3-6Y30 offers a balanced blend of performance and efficiency, albeit with clear limitations in high-demand scenarios.
