Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core m3-6Y30 was specifically designed for an era of extremely compact devices. It is based on the Skylake Y architecture and was manufactured using the advanced 14nm process. Its primary goal was always maximum energy efficiency. This enabled the development of particularly slim notebooks and versatile 2-in-1 systems.

A major advantage was the ability to operate devices completely fanless. The noiseless operation was a crucial purchasing argument for many users. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 515 handled the display. This offered a solid foundation for everyday visual requirements. The chip had 4 MB of Level 3 cache and 30 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

This showed its focus on balanced, mobile performance. The Intel Core m3-6Y30 is well-suited for basic office work and web browsing. It also handles playing media content with ease. We observe that it remains a good choice in its segment. It represents a time when mobility and passive operation were paramount.

  • High energy efficiency
  • Enabled fanless operation
  • Ideal for compact devices
  • Integrated graphics for everyday tasks
