in my rig i have an i5 2310. yesterday i found a i3 6100 laying around so i was wondering if it is better than my current cpu
 
Solution
The performance is around the same. With the i3 6100 you get faster single core performance, with the i5 2310 - slightly faster multi core performance. Considering you will need new mobo and ram for the 6100 I think its not worth the upgrade.
