Intel Core i3-6100 vs Intel Core i5-4460

The Intel Core i5-4460 is based on the Haswell-S architecture and was designed by Intel for use in mid-range desktop systems.

Manufactured using the 22-nanometer process, the processor features four physical cores and four threads. In multi-core scenarios, it offers higher performance compared to processors with fewer cores due to the higher core count. In single-core performance, it shows advantages over the comparison model in specific measurement procedures.

In gaming, the Intel Core i5-4460 benefits from its four real cores, which ensures more stable frame rates in titles with multi-core support. The thermal design power is 84 watts, while the L3 cache is 6 MB. It supports PCIe 3.0, reaches a memory bandwidth of 26 GB/s and uses Intel HD Graphics 4600.

The model is suitable for users who require solid multi-core performance for various applications. The Intel Core i3-6100 uses the Skylake-S architecture and was designed by Intel for price-conscious users.

The processor, manufactured in a 14-nanometer process, offers two cores and four threads. In single-core measurements, it achieves high efficiency per clock cycle in some scenarios thanks to its more modern architecture, but falls behind the quad-core processor in multi-core performance. In games that benefit heavily from single-core performance, the Intel Core i3-6100 achieves good results, but reaches its limits in core-intensive applications.

With a thermal design power of 51 watts, the energy consumption is lower than that of the comparison model. The memory bandwidth is 34 GB/s with an L3 cache of 3 MB, supported by Intel HD Graphics 530 and PCIe 3.0. This processor is recommended for simple office tasks where energy efficiency and low acquisition costs play a central role.
