Intel CPU BX8070110100F Core i3-10100F / 3.6GHz / 6MB LGA1200 4C / 8T

Product Information

Please check with the system vendor to determine if your system delivers this feature, or reference the system specifications (motherboard, processor, chipset, power supply, HDD, graphics controller, memory, BIOS, drivers, virtual machine monitor-VMM, platform software, and/or operating system) for feature compatibility. If you want a chip that will far outstrip the Core i3-10100 in gaming results with a dedicated GPU, the Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 3300X provide consistently faster competition in nearly every metric we test on.

It should also work with the LGA 1200-based boards for the coming 11th Generation "Rocket Lake" processors. The all new 10th Generation Intel Core i3 10100F processors have been built for the everyday desktop user.Previously at PCMag, I was a hardware analyst benchmarking and reviewing consumer gadgets and PC hardware such as desktop processors, GPUs, monitors, and internal storage. There are a number of budget-chipset options available in that lineup, but budget or otherwise, it's hard to stand up to what AMD is offering on platform compatibility these days.

Also, it is very possible to use passive cooler for this processor and make your PC both powerful and silent. In my free time, you’ll find me shredding the slopes on my snowboard in the Rocky Mountains where I live, or using my culinary-degree skills to whip up a dish in the kitchen for friends. Despite having four more threads to work with compared to the i3-9100, the i3-10100 couldn't beat the chip it's meant to replace regularly enough to walk out as a unanimous victor. Intel® Arc™ graphics only available on select H-series Intel® Core™ Ultra processor powered systems with at least 16GB of system memory in a dual-channel configuration. This platform delivers amazing performance for everything from mainstream gaming and creation to productivity.On single-threaded tasks the Intel Core i3-10100 performed well, but oddly seemed to struggle against its predecessor, the Intel Core i3-9100, depending on the benchmark. We run lower end CPUs that have IGPs through a series of games tuned to either near-lowest, or the lowest, settings at 1,280 by 720 pixel resolution (720p), as well as at 1,920 by 1,080 pixels (1080p).

Both the Ryzen 3200G and 3400G smash through this synthetic run, and provide one of the starkest examples of the limits of Intel's older UHD Graphics options in today's climate. However, it does manage to keep pace with (or set a new one against) the Radeon Vega-IGP-equipped AMD Ryzen 3 3200G, depending on the run, and that chip might be considered a fairer comparison. This top-end consumer graphics card is the primary arbiter of performance at 4K with all of the CPUs that we have laid out below. Whether you're seeking immersion or pure entertainment, the Intel® Core™ i3 range has the power to support your best memories. For our gaming tests, we used an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, at Founders Edition clocks, as we have on all recent mainstream and high-end CPU reviews.Intel is committed to respecting human rights and avoiding causing or contributing to adverse impacts on human rights.
