Intel Core i3-6006U vs Intel Core i3-6157U: comparison

Comparison of Intel Core i3-6006U and Intel Core i3-6157U: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Core i3-6006U has a lower TDP (15 W vs 28 W).

At the same time, Intel Core i3-6157U has a higher base clock (2.4 GHz vs 2 GHz) and a higher maximum integrated graphics clock (1 GHz vs 900 MHz).

Both processors match on: core count (2), thread count (4), L3 cache (3 MB), process node (14 nm), maximum memory size (32 GB), memory channels (2), PCIe version (3).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
