6th Generation Intel
®
Core
™
Processor-Based
Platforms for Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions
(Intel® Core™ i7-6700, i7-6700TE, i5-6500, i5-6500TE, i3-6100, and i3-6100TE processors)
(Intel® Pentium® G4400, G4400TE, and Intel® Celeron® G3900, G3900TE processors)
Product Overview
Intel is proud to announce its 6th
generation Intel® Core™ processor
family. Manufactured on the latest
14 nm technology, these processors
oer dramatically higher CPU and
graphics performance as compared to
the previous generation, a broad range
of power options, and new advanced
features to boost edge-to-cloud
Internet of Things (IoT) designs. The 6th
generation Intel Core processor family
also maintains a standardized thermal
envelope for 65W and 35W desktop
products, remaining consistent with
the previous processor generation,
and is as an ideal low-power option for
manufacturing exibility.
Stunning Visual Performance
The 6th generation Intel Core
processors utilize the new Gen9
graphics engine, which improves
graphic performance by up to 49
percent.

The improvements are
demonstrated through faster 3-D
graphics performance and rendering
applications at low power. Video
playback is also faster and smoother,
thanks to the new multiplane overlay
capability. The new generation oers
up to three independent audio streams
and displays, Ultra HD 4K support, and
workload consolidation for lower BOM
costs and energy output.
Users will also enjoy enhanced
high-density streaming applications
and optimized 4K video conferencing
with accelerated 4K hardware media
codecs HEVC (8-bit), VP8, VP9, and
VDENC encoding, decoding, and
transcoding. Together, the stunning
visual performance enhancements
add up to more immersive
computing experiences.
Power-Efficient Performance
The new 6th gen Intel Core processors
make a powerful dierence on the
eciency front as well. The improved
technology promises up to 35 percent
faster CPU
