Notes
The Core i3-6320 features 2 cores and 4 threads on Skylake, running at 3.9 GHz. This budget processor offered entry-level performance with hyperthreading during the dual-core i3 era. While severely limited by 2-core design and outdated by modern standards, it remains functional for very basic computing. Often available at rock-bottom pricing for legacy upgrades or minimal office workstations where dual-core capabilities suffice for basic tasks and older software.
