About processor

The Intel Core i3-6100T processor is a solid choice for a desktop CPU with its Skylake architecture and 14nm technology. With 2 cores and 4 threads, it offers efficient multi-tasking capabilities for everyday computing needs. The low thermal design power (TDP) of 35W ensures that it runs cool and doesn't consume too much power, making it suitable for energy-efficient desktop systems. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 provides decent graphical performance, capable of handling everyday tasks and light gaming. The Geekbench 6 benchmarks for single-core and multi-core performance are impressive, with scores of 1041 and 2071 respectively. This showcases the processor's ability to handle a wide range of tasks with ease. Overall, the Intel Core i3-6100T is a reliable and efficient processor for general use. While it may not be suitable for high-end gaming or professional applications, it is a great choice for budget-friendly desktop builds or as an upgrade for older systems. Its low power consumption and capable performance make it a great option for casual users or office environments.

PCI Express Version
?
PCI Express Revision is the supported version of the PCI Express standard. Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (or PCIe) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard for attaching hardware devices to a computer. The different PCI Express versions support different data rates.
3.0
Instruction Set
?
The instruction set is a hard program stored inside the CPU that guides and optimizes CPU operations. With these instruction sets, the CPU can run more efficiently. There are many manufacturers that design CPUs, which results in different instruction sets, such as the 8086 instruction set for the Intel camp and the RISC instruction set for the ARM camp. x86, ARM v8, and MIPS are all codes for instruction sets. Instruction sets can be extended; for example, x86 added 64-bit support to create x86-64. Manufacturers developing CPUs that are compatible with a certain instruction set need authorization from the instruction set patent holder. A typical example is Intel authorizing AMD, enabling the latter to develop CPUs compatible with the x86 instruction set.
