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

Product Information

If you want to overclock a processor at this level, the Ryzen 3 3300X and its unlocked clock speed will be the way to go. While the Intel Core i3-10100 never crested above a balmy 46 degrees C during our testing, we should emphasize that our cooling solution was incredibly overkill for the job.

Granted, those chips were also tested on beefy AM4 motherboards attached to liquid cooling systems that cost as much as or more than the CPU—but we digress. The reviewed Core i3-10100 is based on the "Comet Lake" microarchitecture by Intel, and built on their existing 14 nm++ silicon fabrication process.

The four-core/eight-thread Intel Core i3-10100 lands in the 10th Gen stack as Intel's entry-level Core CPU, the next step up from a Celeron or a Pentium.

Intel's entry-level Core i3-10100 CPU requires an all-new motherboard platform to install, and our sample chip's performance numbers are far enough below AMD's competing Ryzens to stifle most of its four-core appeal. Geekbench 6 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 2500 (which is the score of an Intel Core i7-12700). Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. While the Core i3-10100 has 6 MB, the slightly pricier Core i3-10300 and Core i3-10320 have 8 MB of cache and slightly higher clock speeds.Although the i3-10100 requires a new LGA1200 motherboard, Intel have guaranteed that LGA1200 will be compatible with the next generation of Rocket Lake CPUs, expected later this year. We test CPUs using a variety of synthetic benchmarks that offer proprietary scores, as well as real-world tests using consumer apps like 7-Zip, and 3D games such as Far Cry 5. With an optimal balance of frequency, cores and threads, and blazing connectivity, 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors supercharge desktops and All-in-One (AIO) PCs for premium performance. 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 have an older-generation board, pair it with an Intel Core i3-9100 instead, which in our tests was often just as good (and sometimes better) than the Core i3-10100 in multi-core runs.

The Ryzen 3 3200G with its Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics far outstripped the capabilities of the Core i3-10100's UHD Graphics in IGP testing, and that's to say nothing of the smackdown we saw out of Vega 11 with the Ryzen 5 3400G.
