"It is a great budget CPU for gamers but do not expect the best performance when it comes to new AAA Games...." Read more
Customers are satisfied with the quality of the computer processor. They mention that it is a nice CPU, with good ram, and makes a super fast and perfect little gaming CPU. The new 6th generation Intel Skylake Processors are amazing, and it is an awesome and cheap CPU. It is also a good CPU for light work load and does OK with gaming on medium to low settings. It was a great processor for my budget gaming PC build, and a top-quality MB.
"...fact that it only has two physical cores scare you: it's tough enough to handle anything you throw at it." Read more
"...Intel has been great with providing reliable, power efficient, and performance capable processors. This i3-6100 is no exception to that...." Read more
"...For the price, this really is a nice CPU." Read more
"...The dual cores with the hyperthreading was very surprisingly strong and quick...." Read more
Customers find the computer processor great for everyday tasks and gaming. They say it's good for normal gaming, eSports, and casual gaming. Customers also say it is sufficient for non-intensive applications and is great for simple workstation computers.
"...GTA V, Far Cry, Total War, CSGO, etc, and all of these are completely playable, which I am happy about...." Read more
"...It kicks ass in most or all games and I notice no frame drops/bottlenecking unless the CPU is being stressed to 100% constantly..." Read more
"...Fast and capable...." Read more
"...i like my new tire its so bounce and loves to play with things!!!!!!!!!! just joking i like your product" Read more
Customers are satisfied with the temperature of the computer processor. They mention that it runs cool, does not generate much heat, and the stock fan is fine as is. The stock heatsink is plenty for this chip, and it installs very easily. The included fan comes RTU with thermal paste, and clips right in. Overall, customers are happy with the performance and ease of use of this product.
"...Runs cool even with just the stock (included) cooler during most gaming situations, at least in my experience with it..." Read more
"...The stock cooler was a breeze to install and has kept the processor nice and cool...." Read more
"...It has plenty of processing power and it does not generate much heat, which means the fans do not have to run fast (and loud) to keep the system..." Read more
"...It installs very easily and has thermal paste pre-applied (be careful not to smear it when you handle the HSF, as it's packed unprotected)...." Read more
Customers find the installation of the computer processor to be straight forward, with easy to follow instructions. They also say the processor installs and benchmarks just fine, and is easy to upgrade. Customers also mention that everything went together very well and is running great.
"...I was surprised to find that somehow Intel managed to make installing a CPU extremely easy...." Read more
"...The stock cooler was a breeze to install and has kept the processor nice and cool...." Read more
"...This step's through far better (and faster). I am now able to "run through", and not just go step by step...." Read more
"...It installs very easily and has thermal paste pre-applied (be careful not to smear it when you handle the HSF, as it's packed unprotected)...." Read more
Customers are satisfied with the frame rate of the computer processor. They mention that it is brilliant for 1080p gaming, and can even do higher resolutions pretty well. It gets a pretty good framerate on Fallout 4 at high settings, and smooth sailing at 1080P. It can render videos well, and is capable of smooth HD playback. The integrated graphics are respectable in comparison to older models, and play many light games such as Minecraft at around 40-60 fps on very high.
"...recommendation would be to get a discrete GPU, as the integrated graphics are respectable in comparison to older generations of Intel IGPs, but..." Read more
"...Can render videos well. Great budget product. Runs games extremely well...." Read more
"...Was able to get consistent high frame rates in 1080p playing Battlefield 1, Battlefield 4 and CS-GO on high / ultra settings...." Read more
"...Please note- it has built-in graphics processor. Unlike the i5 which does not...." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the noise produced by the computer processor. Some mention that it runs quietly with the stock cooler, while others say that it provides equivalent cooling with much less noise. Some customers also mention that the fan is noisy and has a terrible tone.
"...It provided equivalent cooling with much less noise. I downgraded this review by one star for the fan noise." Read more
"...Included fan is quiet. I don't plan to OC so the stock cooler will remain." Read more
"...fan keeps it at the 30-40 degree level without issue, and is quiet enough for my tastes." Read more
"Got a 7.4 for Windows Index Score. Runs very quiet with stock fan and runs very cool @ 23 C degrees...." Read more

I am not a gamer, so I also used the Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac boards to get the new USB3.1 and C ports and upgraded Audio. I suspect that gamers on a budget could put the cash saved on this Skylake I3 into a good Graphics board and small SSD - and still have a rocking machine. Recommend: Don't skimp on the motherboard though.
Update: 5/18/2016: Just saw some old comments/questions: Yes, I am using onboard graphics only. My HTPC enclosures are only about 8X8X2.5 inches. In these tiny boxes the older I7 & I5 Ivy Bridge temperatures ran up fan speeds and noise too much for my tastes while watching video, so I artificially under clocked them in the bios to reduce the thermal profiles and quiet the fans to unnoticeable beyond 12-18 inches away from the units. The I3 Skylake builds run quietly as HTPC's without bios setting modifications. The only time fan speeds and noise increase are during maintenance tasks such as virus scans and OS update installs which run quickly with the I3's. But for my personal preference for snappy maintenance, the G4400 or G4500 Skylake dual-cores might have worked well as HTPC's for me. I did build a totally silent HTPC using an Asrock Q1900DC-ITX board which includes an Intel Quad-Core Processor J1900 with fanless heat sink and built in DC/DC power for cheap. It runs well as a HTPC, but it's pokey running maintenance tasks, so like the I3's better
Overall, this is quite possibly the best budget CPU out there. Don't let the fact that it only has two physical cores scare you: it's tough enough to handle anything you throw at it.

As most games depend hugely on the GPU, with many more not even using more than 2 cores, the speed of this processor means it performs really well.
If you intend of using this for multiple tasks over many screens, or for any form of rendering, then consider and i5 instead. Otherwise this is a great choice for a cheaper gaming PC.
