The 6th-generation Intel Core i3 processors, built on Intel’s “Skylake” 14 nm architecture, deliver an efficient and capable platform for everyday computing. A prime example is the i3-6100 — featuring 2 physical cores and 4 threads (via Hyper-Threading), a base clock of 3.70 GHz, and an L3 cache of 3 MB. 
This chip is designed for the LGA-1151 socket and supports dual-channel memory (DDR4-1866/2133 or DDR3L-1333/1600) with integrated Intel HD Graphics 530. 
With a TDP of about 51 W, it balances performance and power consumption well for compact desktop systems.

For users looking to build a reliable PC for tasks like web browsing, office productivity, media playback or light content creation, the 6th-gen i3 is a sound choice. Its high single-core clock speed makes it responsive for everyday tasks.
That said, with only two cores (albeit four threads) it may start showing its age for more demanding workloads such as modern gaming, heavy multitasking or video editing.
In summary: the Intel Core i3 6th Gen offers solid value in a mature platform—ideal for budget builds or upgrades where newer hardware isn’t required.
