Description of the processor

The Intel Core i3-6100T is a dual-core processor with 2 CPU cores and 4 threads that is quite economical. With its T processors, Intel limits the power consumption to a minimum, which is then reflected in lower clock frequencies and lower performance compared to the normal model. On the other hand, T processors such as the Intel Core i3-6100T consume less energy.

This only affects the energy consumption under load; when idle, these processors require a similar amount of energy as the normal models. Since the Intel Core i3-6100T is an i3 processor, it clocks at 3.2 GHz. The turbo functionality, in which the processor can dynamically increase its clock frequency, is disabled on many i3 processors (including the Intel Core i3-6100T).

The Intel Core i3-6100T uses the Intel HD Graphics 530 with 24 execution units and 192 texture shaders as the internal graphics (also called iGPU). This graphics card is relatively weak and is not suitable for modern computer games. In computers without dedicated graphics, the iGPU is responsible for image or video playback.

Both DDR3-1600 and the faster DDR4-2133 memory are supported by the Intel Core i3-6100T. The support lies on the motherboard on which the processor is installed. The memory bandwidth is a maximum of 25.6 GB/s with DDR3-1600 memory and a maximum of 34.1 GB/s with DDR4-2133 memory. However, this difference is hardly noticeable in most applications, so the older DDR3 memory can also be a good choice.

A maximum of 64 GB of RAM can be installed; the dual-channel mode, in which at least two memory modules must be installed, is supported by the Intel Core i3-6100T. If possible, you should also use this, as using just one memory module halves the memory bandwidth.
