Intel Core i3 6100T 2-core LGA1151
Its 35W TDP provides efficient, low-heat operation for compact systems, while the 3.2GHz base clock on two Skylake cores handles basic computing tasks. Support for ECC memory and a low power draw make it a reliable choice for always-on home servers or network-attached storage devices. This processor is best for users building a budget home NAS or a simple office PC where energy efficiency matters more than raw multi-threaded performance.
