Ghost Recon Breakpoint isn't particularly CPU demanding and here the i3-10100 had no trouble matching the 3300X to come in just behind the higher-end, more expensive processors. We see even slimmer margins at 1440p, where the 10100 was able to deliver the same gaming experience as the 10600K.

System and Maximum TDP is based on worst case scenarios. Actual TDP may be lower if not all I/Os for chipsets are used. Again we're seeing impressive gains for the Core i3-10100 over the 9100F, this time improving performance in the V-Ray benchmark by a 33% margin. That improvement is overshadowed by the fact that the 3300X is still over 20% faster. Based on our evaluation, the 10100F's 4.30 GHz single-core max turbo boost frequency is excellent for performance with the latest graphics-intense games. You can maintain these frequencies with a high-end cooler. The processor extends all the capabilities that users love from previous generation CPUs with even more advanced innovations that deliver exciting new levels of performance when paired with the right graphics card.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. 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. The Ryzen 3 3200G, as its own budget gaming engine, regularly comes within spitting distance of hitting 60fps in 1080p, and it even manages to cross the boundary in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, versus the Intel Core i3-10100's result of just 35fps in the same benchmark.

This article evaluates Intel's Core i3-10100F desktop CPU. We evaluated Intel's Core i3-10100F and compared it to others to determine which provides the best value as a gaming CPU. We shaped our testing methodology to focus on each CPU's attributes rather than solely on benchmarks.Here's a look at AES-256 multi-thread performance. To encrypt/decrypt a file using the AES algorithm, the file must undergo a set of complex computational steps which can be sped up dramatically using multi-core CPUs. That said the 10100 isn't a great deal faster than the 9100F in the SiSoft Sandra benchmark, despite it's Hyper-Threading support and as a result the 3300X is up to 45% faster. This time we're looking at Core i5-9400F like performance in the Adobe Premiere Pro benchmark and that meant the R3 3100 was 6% faster than the 3300X 18% faster. Designed with Intel Optane memory, that can dramatically improve boot times and accelerate system performance in desktop PCs and laptops. It streamlines your computing experience by combining storage capacity and intelligent system acceleration. Maximum display resolutions supported by Core i3-10100 and Core i5-10400F integrated GPUs, including resolutions over different interfaces. 4K resolution support APIs supported by Core i3-10100 and Core i5-10400F integrated GPUs, sometimes API versions are included. DirectX

Programmed with 3.60GHz Base frequency, the Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology cranks maximum turbo frequency up to blazing 4.30 GHz. The processor is desirable for a gamer looking for a fantastic in-game experience and a creator that is ready to do more creating and sharing alike.

Gaming performance

Available interfaces and connections of Core i3-10100 and Core i5-10400F integrated GPUs. Number of displays supported We'd just like to note that comparing the operating temperature of the i3-10100 to something like the R3 3300X is a pointless exercise, you're better off just looking at power consumption because temperatures can easily end up being an apples to oranges comparison. Where the temperature probe is located in the CPU can heavily influence the reading; a good example of this can be seen when looking at AMD GPUs which include a hotspot readout as well as an edge temperature which is often much lower. Still, for those not satisfied with that, the Ryzen 3 3300X using the Wraith Stealth box cooler reached 75C under the same test conditions while the R3 3100 reached 65C. Technological solutions and additional instructions supported by Core i3-10100 and Core i5-10400F. You'll probably need this information if you require some particular technology. Instruction set extensions The margins seen in Rainbow Six Siege don't paint a nice picture for the i3-10100 either. Here the 3300X was 21% faster when comparing 1% low data. Granted, the Core i3 processor managed over 160 fps at all times, so the margins might be somewhat irrelevant. We've experienced that single-core performance is essential for some games, as many don't take full advantage of multiple cores.

In the case of the MSI B460 Mortar, this board has a 255W sustained boost limit, so even the 10900K will run without power limits, maintaining an all-core frequency of 4.8 GHz which is extremely impressive, though we've yet to properly measure VRM thermals.This time Ryzen 3 was just 11% faster in the Corona benchmark, so one of Intel better showings in our productivity benchmarks. We're also looking at an insane 56% performance uplift over the 9100F, so it would seem Intel's simultaneous multithreading is well utilized in this benchmark. As for single-core performance, the 10100 is decent and while certainly not particularly strong relative to the competition, these are the results you'd expect from an Intel processor capped at 4.3 GHz.
