Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i3-6320 is a processor based on the Skylake S architecture. It was manufactured using an energy-efficient 14nm process. At the time of its release, this chip offered balanced performance for the mainstream segment. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 was particularly useful. This was perfectly adequate for typical office and multimedia tasks.

Thus, a system could be operated without an additional graphics card. This significantly reduced the acquisition costs. Even though it is no longer the newest, the Intel Core i3-6320 still reliably performs basic tasks. The 4 MB Level 3 cache ensures that frequently needed data can be accessed quickly.

This noticeably improves the overall responsiveness of the system. In addition, this processor supports PCIe 3.0. It achieves a maximum memory bandwidth of 34 GB/s. This is still sufficient for most everyday applications today. It is often enough for one or two older games. We conclude: The Intel Core i3-6320 remains a solid choice.

Especially for systems that are primarily used for Internet, word processing and light multimedia applications.
