The gateway drug to DDR4. The i3-6100 was the budget chip of the Skylake generation, bringing the new memory standard to the masses. It was a feisty dual-core chip that used Hyper-Threading to punch above its weight class in games like CS:GO, often beating AMD's six-core FX chips purely on single-threaded aggression.
In 2015, this was the default recommendation for every "console killer" PC build. It represents the transition period where the industry moved from the long-lived DDR3 standard to the modern DDR4 era. It’s not powerful by today's standards, but it earned its keep.
