About this deal

We've experienced that single-core performance is essential for some games, as many don't take full advantage of multiple cores. Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html for details.

Intel classifications are for general, educational and planning purposes only and consist of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers. Any use made of Intel classifications are without recourse to Intel and shall not be construed as a representation or warranty regarding the proper ECCN or HTS. Your company as an importer and/or exporter is responsible for determining the correct classification of your transaction.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. 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. It's of course a weak GPU implementation from a performance perspective, however for desktop work it is capable of handling up to three monitors and up to 4K resolution at 60Hz (the exact combination will depend on a number of factors like motherboard/output support). Thus, the 10100 makes sense and can be a more cost effective option for some. 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.

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 found that, in general, more cores do provide better performance in professional tools and when running multiple applications simultaneously. Gears Tactics results has the i3-10100 performing slower than the 7700K again. In fact, here it's only able to roughly match the 9100F, with 10% better 1% low performance. But even so, we're looking at gaming performance where the 3300X is some 16% faster. 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.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.
