Intel Core i7-6600U is part of the Skylake generation processors and it’s entitled to the ULV lineup (ultra-low voltage) with 14nm FinFET manufacturing process. It has two cores that support Hyper-Threading technology resulting in up to 4 threads. The chip is a direct successor to the Core i7-5600U Broadwell CPU expecting slightly better performance with emphasis on the power efficiency features.
The Core i7-6600U is clocked at 2.6 GHz and can go up to 3.4 GHz for one active core or 3.2 GHz for two active cores. Also, the silicon includes an Intel HD Graphics 520 iGPU that sports 24 Execution Units ticking at 300MHz and can go up to 1050MHz. The whole SoC supports DDR4-2133/LPDDR3-1866/DDR3L-1600 memory in a dual-channel array. The whole chip is rated at 15W TDP including the memory controller and the integrated graphics thus making it suitable for 11-inch notebooks or bigger. It also supports the cTDP down feature and the OEM can lower the TDP to 7.5W.
