About the Intel Core i3-6006U CPU

The Intel Core i3-6006U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i3-6006U is compatible with Socket 1168 BGA motherboards and is fabricated on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 520 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i3-6006U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 3 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i3-6006U features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2000.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i3-6006U includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics 520. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i3-6006U has the 529th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 7.85% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i5-13500HX CPU
