Intel® Core™ i5-6685R

The Intel Core i5-6685R is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Skylake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Apr 2016. Clocks run from 3.2 GHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i5-6685R has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 3.20 GHz and boosts up to 3.80 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-6685R is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i5 family, uses the Skylake architecture, carries the codename Skylake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Apr 2016.

The Intel Core i5-6685R has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 7.3 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i5-6685R has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 6 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i5-6685R supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 64 GB of memory, uses 2 memory channels and runs memory at up to 2,133 MT/s. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Core i5-6685R includes integrated graphics (Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580) and clocks the graphics up to 1.15 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-6685R supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 16 PCIe lanes.
