Intel Core i3 10100F 4-core LGA 1200
The 4-core, 8-thread design with a 4.3GHz boost clock delivers strong entry-level productivity, scoring 8715 in PassMark multi-core tests. Its lack of integrated graphics keeps the platform cost low, making it a sensible foundation for a budget gaming build when paired with a discrete GPU. This processor is best for cost-conscious PC builders assembling a dedicated system for 1080p gaming and everyday office tasks.
