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

Product Information

Whether you're seeking immersion or pure entertainment, the Intel® Core™ i3 range has the power to support your best memories. With an optimal balance of frequency, cores and threads, optional advanced tuning support7, and blazing connectivity, 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors supercharge desktops for competitive and premium performance. This platform delivers amazing performance for everything from mainstream gaming and creation to productivity.

Intel classifications are for general, educational and planning purposes only and consist of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers.Introducing the all new 10th Generation Intel Core i9 10900F processor, 10th Gen Intel® Core™ “KF” and “F” SKU desktop processors are built for gamers and creators with the same 10th gen innovations, specifications, and performance, but without processor graphics features. This will both open an upgrade path to higher tier "K" tier CPUs and unlock higher XMP RAM speeds ( here is one of the builds from our EFps test lab).

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. The Night Raid 3DMark run shows just how much work AMD has put into elevating its APUs in the past several years from afterthoughts into serious contenders.

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. The all new 10th Generation Intel Core i3 10100F processors have been built for the everyday desktop user. Functionality, performance, and other benefits of this feature may vary depending on system configuration. The 8th and 9th generation Core i3 were 4-core/4-thread parts, after nine or so years of Core i3 desktop being 2-core/4-thread with 3 or 4 MB of L3 cache and a lack of Turbo Boost. Additional baselines can be obtained using Windows version of PerformanceTest's Manage Baselines feature.

In addition, unlike the 3300X, the 10100 also packs integrated graphics with Quick Sync hardware encoding, which alleviates the need for desktop users to purchase a separate GPU.
