Intel Core i3 6100 - Pros & Cons

Intel Core i3 6100

a great
easily upgradable gaming platform
produces precise and accurate results

chip requires a new motherboard with an LGA 1151 socket
lacks those chips' variable clock-speed Turbo Boost feature
Hyper-Threading Technology
Integrated graphics performance lags AMD rivals
Intel is looking to close down i3 overclocking
higher-speed memory and CPU overclocking
memory bandwidth is too
H170 boards may unofficially support memory overclocking too
much costlier and more-powerful CPUs
No onboard power/reset buttons - a problem
with lag and poor minimum frame rates
transactional extensions are not on the Core i3 models
data cannot fit as easily into cache
AMD parts suffer a noticeable single thread performance deficit
variants are typically slightly more expensive than the standard versions
