This page on Intel's website says that the "T" suffix represents a "Power-optimized lifestyle", which, as far as I understand, means better power efficiency, but doesn't say anything about the "E" suffix (except for the older Core 2 processors, where it seems to have a similar meaning to the current generation "T").

The i3-6100T and i3-6100E also exist, both with a TDP of 35W, just like the i3-6100TE. The main differences i can see while comparing them on Intel's website are that the two processors with the "E" have:

  • a lower clock speed (2.7 GHz vs 3.2 GHz)
  • something called "Embedded options available" (maybe this is it?)

So does anybody know what the "E" means?

What is the meaning of the Intel processor E suffix?

The E suffix is one you’ll see on a few products, but as a consumer you don’t particularly need to worry about. The letter stands for embedded, with means the processor can be utilized in embedded systems.
