The 7-zip compression results look quite similar to Cinebench multi-core. The 10100 provides a really nice step forward from the 9100F, but at 20% slower than the 3300X it's outgunned in this test. We're also looking at a further 5% decline in performance when using the slower DDR4-2666 memory. 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. When it comes to power consumption, we see that the Core i3-10100 uses slightly less power than the Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X in this task, however you have to remember that the 3300X was 17% faster in this test, so performance per watt still goes in AMD's favor. Regardless, when talking about total system consumption of under 150 watts for a desktop PC, it doesn't matter too much. Here's a look at code compilation performance and this time we're looking at a 37% performance improvement for the Core i3-10100 over the 9100F. The Core i3-10100 managed to match the Core i7-7700K in the DaVinci Resolve Studio 16 benchmark. Compared to Ryzen, the R3 3100 was 3% faster and the 3300X was a more convincing 7% faster. Not big margins as before, but the trend of Ryzen 3 winning on the productivity side continues. System and Maximum TDP is based on worst case scenarios. Actual TDP may be lower if not all I/Os for chipsets are used.The R3 3300X was 20% faster in this test and this suggests for core-heavy workloads the Ryzen processor is going to be quite a tad 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. 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.

Our last application benchmark is Adobe After Effects, where the 10100 was slightly slower than the R3 3100 and 3300X, so pretty competitive performance in this test. 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. Specifications and connection of peripherals supported by Core i3-10100 and Core i5-10400F. PCIe version The Ryzen processors were tested on the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master, 8th and 9th-gen Intel Core processors were tested on the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra, and the new 10th-gen Core processors on the Asus ROG Maximus XII Extreme. For the sake of exhaustiveness, we've also tested the Core i5-10400 and Core i3-10100 on some B360 boards and found the performance to be identical to that of the Z490 board running DDR4-2666 memory.Intel classifications are for general, educational and planning purposes only and consist of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers.

The processor has a 3.60 GHz base frequency and supports a 4.30 GHz single-core max turbo frequency. 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.

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.The faster memory doesn't make a huge difference for the Core i3 processor, though we are looking at a 6% improvement for the 1% low. When looking at the DDR4-3200 configuration we see that the 10100 is comparable to the Core i5-9400F which isn't unexpected, nor is the fact that it was 6% slower than the 7700K on average. A Word About B460 Motherboards, What We Learned

We found that, in general, more cores do provide better performance in professional tools and when running multiple applications simultaneously. APIs supported by Core i3-10100 and Core i5-10400F integrated GPUs, sometimes API versions are included. DirectX Interestingly, increasing the resolution which can increase CPU load in games sees the 10100 fall behind the 3300X by a 19% margin when comparing 1% low performance. Despite both having a 4-core/8-thread configuration, the 3300X manages to deliver the more consistent experience in Battlefield V and that's likely a result of featuring over twice as much L3 cache. All setups were completed with an RTX 2080 Ti, 32GB of DDR4-3200 CL14 memory, and a Corsair Hydro H150i Pro 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler. Let's get into the results... Benchmarks 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.

The i3-10100 still trailed the 3300X at 1440p. Here the Ryzen chip was 9% faster when comparing the DDR4-3200 configurations. Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Maximum display resolutions supported by Core i3-10100 and Core i5-10400F integrated GPUs, including resolutions over different interfaces. 4K resolution support
