The Intel Core i3 6100 6th Gen Processor from Intel has a base clock speed of 3.7 GHz and comes with features such as Intel Hyper-Threading technology. With Intel Hyper-Threading technology, the processor delivers two processing threads per physical core. Additionally, this processor features two cores with four threads in an FCLGA1151 socket and has 3MB of Intel Smart Cache memory. Having two cores allows the processor to run multiple programs simultaneously without slowing down the system, while the four threads allow applications to complete tasks sooner by working in parallel. This processor also supports up to 64GB of DDR4-1866/2133 and DDR3L-1333/1600 MHz RAM, has SSE4.1/4.2 & AVX 2.0 Extensions, as well as AES New Instructions, 14nm semiconductor technology, and a system bus of 8 GT/s. Graphically, the Core i3-6100 Dual-Core processor is powered by integrated Intel HD Graphics 530. CPU Cache is an area of fast memory located on the processor. Intel Smart Cache refers to the architecture that allows all cores to dynamically share access to the last level cache A bus is a subsystem that transfers data between computer components or between computers. Types include front-side bus (FSB), which carries data between the CPU and memory controller hub; direct media interface (DMI), which is a point-to-point interconnection between an Intel integrated memory controller and an Intel I/O controller hub on the computer's motherboard; and Quick Path Interconnect (QPI), which is a point-to-point interconnect between the CPU and the integrated memory controller. Instruction Set Extensions are additional instructions which can increase performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).
