The Intel Core i3-6098P was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in Q4 2015. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the Skylake architecture with Socket LGA1151. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 4 threads. The Core i3-6098P has 3 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.6 GHz with no turbo boost capability. Intel is building the Core i3-6098P on a 14 nm production process. The multiplier is locked on Core i3-6098P, which limits its overclocking potential. With a TDP of 54 W, the Core i3-6098P has moderate power consumption. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface, specifically DDR4-2133. This processor lacks ECC memory support, which is typically not needed for consumer-grade systems. For communication with other components in the system, Core i3-6098P uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. Unlike some higher-end models, this processor features Intel HD Graphics 510 integrated graphics, eliminating the need for a separate graphics card for basic display needs. Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i3-6098P, which improves virtual machine performance. The processor supports Intel's advanced technologies including SSE4.1/4.2, AVX 2.0, and AES-NI for enhanced multimedia and encryption performance. Being a "P" series processor, it features slightly lower integrated graphics performance compared to standard models.
