The
Intel Core i5-6685R, based on the
Skylake S architecture, was a solid choice at the time. It was manufactured using the advanced
14 nm process and offered a very balanced performance. Its powerful integrated graphics are particularly noteworthy. The Intel
Iris Pro Graphics 580 delivered remarkable visual quality for its time.
This was a significant advantage for a processor of this type. It allowed many applications to run smoothly without the need for an additional graphics card. Even some graphically less demanding games ran surprisingly smoothly. The 6 MB Level 3 cache contributed significantly to fast data access. This noticeably improved the overall responsiveness of the entire system.
With a maximum memory bandwidth of 34 GB/s, the integrated graphics were well supported. We find that this processor is still a quite usable option today. It fits well into existing systems or for everyday office work. It also masters the smooth playback of media content with ease. The
Intel Core i5-6685R still delivers reliable performance for most common tasks today.
It therefore remains a solid choice for various applications.
