is the i3 7100 a "rebranded" i3 6100?

[SUPERREDDEVIL]

Title my dear friends!

advantages of a 7100? (apart from more Mhz on the core)

its ridiculous that here in my country the difference on price between those 2 is 30 dollars plus for the 7100. Jeez.

One is kabylake and one is skylake.

dam ninga'ed ^^^
one is skylake other is kabylake different generations

kk guys i know that, but maybe i dont do the right question, i dont see why you need to pay more (at least here) for a processor that spec wise its 90% the same but only 200Mhz faster, so people can stick with a 6100 instead of buying the 7100 for, what, netflix 4K?

 

[EarthDog]

... for the 200 mhz.

What answer are you looking for... because it's that and the fact it's the latest gen. Not better per say, newer. Simple.

 

[SUPERREDDEVIL]

k, clear, but what about memory, can i XMP a memory to 2400, 2666, 3000 Mhz, etc. with an 6100 or 7100? (memory supported course) (on intel page says 6100 supports only up to 2133 and 7100 to 2400Mhz)

 

[EarthDog]

Yes.

Those are the base specs of the platform. You simply need to get a board that overclocks and set XMP profile.

Look at 6700k/7700k page... you'll see it says 2133/2400 on them too.

Yes.

thank you!

Only real difference between the two is the extra clock speed as stated, but also the "upgraded" iGPU on the 7100.

 

[alucasa]

CPU is more or less the same. But iGPU, HD 600, has some improvements that make it a good media GPU, like hardware support for 10-bit HEVC as well as HDMI 2.0.

 

[dorsetknob]

I do believe there were some O/S software gimps imposed on skylake but not kabylake
vaguely remember UHD Blueray being mentioned

some differences...

• 6100 supports Ecc memory, 7100 not,
• better gpu or newer one on 7100,
• DDR4 up to 2400mhz on 7100
• 7100 support Intel® TSX-NI and also Intel® Optane™ Memory Supported
