    Summary

    Apart from the odd surprise such as the Haswell-based, multiplier-unlocked Pentium G3258, Intel's CPU offerings have been consistent in terms of overclocking abilities for a number of years. We usually get two K-series models per quad-core generation that...

    Summary

    Yes, the Core i3 6100 blows away its nearest competition with single core performance. It even matches the multi-threaded capabilities of the FX-6300, only falling short to the i5 6400. With a high clock speed and Intel's support for the latest technologi...

    armchairempire.com
    Pros

    Coming to the AMD – Intel shootout, the only reason why you would even consider the FX 6300 over the i3 6100 is if you have a budget restriction of $100. But then again, to get close to the i3 performance you need to overclock the FX-6300, which requires...

    Cons

    Not exactly futureproof because of its lower multi-thread scores, Fixed clock speed means that your CPU always runs at its highest performance settings. This can eat from the processor's life, Could have done with slightly more L2 cache than 512KB, Should...

  • 08/08/2016

    Summary

    This review tested the Core i3-6320, the i3-6300 and the i3-6100. All three differ in their base frequency in a regular fashion, going from 3.9 GHz to 3.8 GHz and 3.7 GHz respectively. The Core i3-6100 also has another two adjustments: the integrated grap...

  • 06/16/2016

    Summary

    Both chips retail for around the same and both are aimed at budget users. With that being said, the FX-6350 is hard to beat and having an unlocked multiplier makes the FX-6350 a much better product than the i3-6100 CPU. Not only did the Wraith cool much b...

    Pros

    Compatible With AM3+ Socket, Cheap Platform Price, Good Multi-Core Performance, Silent Stock Cooler

    Cons

    Weak Single-Core Performance, High Power Consumption

  • 05/31/2016

    Summary

    The Intel Core i3-6100 is a good choice for a budget general purpose PC or as a starting point for a gaming rig...

    pcmag.com
    Pros

    High base clock speed, Lowest-cost 6th-generation Core i processor, Impressive single-thread performance

    Cons

    Integrated graphics performance lags AMD rivals, Locked, preventing overclocking

  • 04/12/2016

    Summary

    Mainstream CPUs are the bestseller models, since they gather more processing power than the value ones and are not as expensive as the high-end models. Today, we will compare two new intermediate processors, the A10-7870K from AMD and the Core i3-6100 “Sk...

    Summary

    A couple of months ago we reported on ASRock releasing their SkyOC bios that allowed for overclocking non K sku Skylake cpu's by BCLK overclocking. This set the overclocking community into a bit of a frenzy as it's the been the first time since K chips we...

    Summary

    Early this year we compared AMD's $150 quad-core FX-8320E processor with Intel's $150 Core i3-4360 and $185 Core i5-4430. On paper it looked like a no brainer: the FX-8320E boasts 8 threads capable of running at up to 4GHz out of the box and is fully unlo...
