MSI Cubi 2 Plus System Specs
  • Intel Core i3-6100T (3.20GHz)
  • 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-2133 RAM
  • Samsung SM951 120GB
  • 90W/12V Adapter
  • Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

The two DDR4-2133 modules we installed in the MSI Cubi 2 Plus allowed for a memory bandwidth of 24.6GB/s when combined with the Core i3-6100T processor. This is similar to the Haswell G3220 and i3-4130 parts using slightly higher clocked DDR3 memory.

The Core i3-6100T processor of the Cubi 2 Plus delivered much weaker L1 cache performance compared to the previous generation Core i3-4130. Perhaps this in part can be attributed to the slight drop in operating frequency.
