Core i3-6100 Skylake

Advantages: The best stone in the price-quality ratio in the Skylake line. It is he who i3 6100 tops the top three stones 6100; 6400 and 6700 Pros of the entire line: cold even under overclocking, excellent performance per core, and of course overclocking via the bus.

Disadvantages: The only drawback is only 1, these are 2 physical cores, alas and oh, where at least somehow multithreading is needed 6100 will disappoint you, but there are only a few of these applications and even more so for games.

Comment: And so I will share my feelings. I have i3 6100, ASUS Z170-P motherboard, ASUS GeForce GTX 950 STRIX video card. Regarding the selection of components, this is a purely personal matter, in my case I play only in tanks - WOT, this set is just perfect - 120 fps. At first I wanted to take 6300, after a break I realized 1MB of cache and 1 crystal (6100 have 23 versus 24 6300) give nothing and took what is cheaper and did not regret it. 1st install custom BIOS. 2nd we drive 6100 on the bus up to 4.6-4.7 and voila we get such performance that AMD never dreamed of, in overclocking 6100 opens GTX 970 by 90-95%. There is a second option, who does not want to drive, you can buy a cheap mother on the H110 chipset and 6320 + - you will get a similar result in most applications, but overclocking 6100 in single-threaded applications removes the boundaries between I3, I5 and I7. One more point only for those who are in the tank)), you can still save money and take the G4400 hemp and overclock it to 4.4 per core for tanks, there is no difference on which stone to sit on, the cores are almost identical in this line, but the I3 6100 overclocked opens the way to modern games up to ultra - high settings, depending on the video card, as mentioned above, reveals the 970th or 380th from AMD. Take and drive him, in a crisis show-off is not needed - you need an FPS !!! Finally, I have a Vietnamese stone, there is also China - it's cheaper, I can't say anything for the difference in overclocking, decide for yourself a successful overclocking for everyone!

Advantages: Cold

Comment: I took it as a state employee for games. Works in tandem with the gtx 1050ti. There are no problems, it works out its price.

Advantages: price, performance (for your money), low TDP

Disadvantages: 2 cores (but for me this is irrelevant)

Comment: I wanted to build a fast system for games, but I didn't want to overpay for the i5 6400, despite the fact that the difference in performance is scanty, it works in conjunction with the rx470 Strix 4gb, I set ultra settings everywhere, no lags and slowdowns + 1151 sockets, when it stops being enough, it will be possible change to i5 from 7000 series.

Advantages: - Excellent performance per core - Fairly low price - Unlocks graphics cards up to GTX 950 OC / GTX 960 / R7 370 / R7 370X by 100% - High base frequency - New platform, which means a very large headroom for the future

Disadvantages: Compared to AMD, Intel products have high prices, so if this fall does not show awesome Zen from micro devices, then there will be no shortcomings. If Zen is at least the same, and the price is clearly lower, the main disadvantage will be the price.

Comment: If you are building a computer from scratch, or decide to upgrade to a new platform, and the budget is limited, the i3 6100 is the best choice. Paired with the GTX 950 / R7 370, you can play any modern game. In the most demanding at medium-high settings in Full HD, and more optimized or simply less demanding - at high / maximum. Also in the future it will be possible to buy an i5 or i7 and here's another stock for the future.

Advantages: excellent performance, cold

Disadvantages: the price tag is too big

Comment: took i3 6100, in conjunction with gtx 950, everything flies at ultra settings, in general, a good budget option for a gamer

Advantages: This processor has all the trump cards. Consumes little, emits little - oh, how.

Disadvantages: Well, not at all. If you buy this particular processor, for this price, it means you know what you are taking and for what purpose, there are no "pitfalls" with it, it fulfills its potential at 100%.

Comment: Having sold the pc on the i5 6600k, I decided to experiment and "the prank was a success." in co-op with a gtx 1050 ti i got a great budget gaming pc. I don’t regret a single ruble spent on this wonderful processor. There is even nothing to describe, no 14 tr. on i5? If you take this stone, you rejoice and save, if the resource depletes itself in your opinion, then before the cab-lake stones are released, you will have accumulated a sufficient amount for the new i5 and YOU ARE ON A HORSE.

Advantages: Very fast. After AMD Phenom, the difference is like heaven and earth. Even CS GO on the built-in graph shows FPS 80-100.

Disadvantages: haven't found yet

Comment: If you are choosing between the i5 6400, then take this one. Feel the difference in money, but in performance it is not inferior.

Advantages: 1) Very low power consumption 2) Very low temperature (20 degrees when watching HD video) 3) Good performance.

Disadvantages: 1) Sufficiently thin textolite. I was afraid to wrinkle.

Comment: I bought it the day before yesterday and am as happy as I can be. Before that, I was sitting on a g6950 pentium. If you don't have a lot of money, then this processor is your choice.

Advantages: I took the i3-6300. Optimum price / performance ratio. Before that, I used a computer with i7-4790, I did not notice much difference in speed (unless, of course, we talk about specialized applications where the number of cores is fundamentally important, such as archivers and video encoders), which is logical, since in single-threaded mode their performance is about the same. Even Photoshop works very smartly, it too, if you look at the tests, has not yet learned to use more than 4-6 threads. Cold, at idle temperatures below 30 degrees, in benchmarks it was not possible to heat up above 70 with a fairly simple cooler Deepcool Gammaxx 300. It draws 4K video perfectly, both software and hardware on the integrated graphics core.

Disadvantages: No

Comment: I am very pleased with the processor, in daily use and in photo processing, the performance is fantastic.

Advantages: 1) Cheap 2) Good boxed cooler 3) Heats up a little 4) Draws gtx 1060 (3gb)

Disadvantages: Didn't find it.

Comment: Temperatures: Idle: 39º Load: 48º
