The Intel Core i3-6157U is a mobile (laptop) processor with 2 cores, released in 2016. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the 6th Gen platform, and uses the FCBGA1356 package, which is soldered to the laptop's motherboard rather than socketed. Internally, it is built on the "Skylake-U" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 4 threads for improved parallelism. It operates at a fixed 2.4 GHz. Intel manufactures the "Skylake-U" silicon on a 14 nm process node. This processor supports DDR3L/LPDDR3/DDR4 memory. With a base TDP of 28W the Core i3-6157U is a balanced power envelope suited to mainstream laptops. Integrated graphics are provided by the Iris Graphics 550 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy includes 3MB of L3 cache.
Configurable TDP down to 23 W.
