Intel Core i3-6098P vs Intel Core i3-4170: comparison

Comparison of Intel Core i3-6098P and Intel Core i3-4170: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Core i3-6098P has a finer process node (14 nm vs 22 nm) and a higher maximum memory size (64 GB vs 32 GB).

At the same time, Intel Core i3-4170 has a higher base clock (3.7 GHz vs 3.6 GHz) and a higher maximum integrated graphics clock (1.15 GHz vs 1.05 GHz).

Both processors match on: core count (2), thread count (4), TDP (54 W), 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.
