Intel Core i3 10320 4-core LGA1200
78 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
The Intel Core i3-10320 is generally well-regarded for budget builds, office work, and light server tasks. Users praise its speed and value, though some note that the turbo boost falls short of the advertised 4.6 GHz, reaching only 4.4-4.5 GHz. A few reviewers mention high temperatures with the stock cooler and one received a used unit instead of new.
Pros

- Good for budget gaming and office
- Low power consumption (65W TDP)
- Easy installation with stock cooler
- Significant upgrade from older i3 models
Cons
- Turbo boost lower than advertised (4.4-4.5 GHz vs 4.6 GHz)

- Some units shipped used instead of new
