The i3 is a beast!
Just hope B660 motherboards get reasonable prices, then I'm getting one.

For someone in doubt of the i3, I have a 12100f with a 3060ti and it's rocking a 1440p at high fps without any problems

The i3 12100f shows respectable performance even with the mighty RTX 3080 at 1080p. With just only 4 cores, the 12100f shows even comparable 1% and 0.1% lows compared to the 6 cores 10400f and even beats it on average fps in many games. This clearly proves that quad core cpus aren 't dead as some people thought years ago to justify spending more money for higher core count cpus for the so-called future proofing.

Where I live
10400f : $130
12100f : $115
I can't really decide because 10400f definitely a better deal, but lga 1700 socket for 12100f definitely more future proof.

Would be nice to see some more CPU intensive games in these CPU comparisons, maybe CSGO, rainbow six, some other multiplayer games

Just for facts, this i3 might be actually an i7 13700k or i7 14700k if ryzen hasn't show up

I am proud of this new i3 xD it's a beast cpu hiding behind a cheap price

I3 is more than viable for entry level gaming because this test is in 1080p and whith an RTX 3080. When you buy an i3 you rarely buy an RTX 3080
So with an 3060 or 3050 there are mutch less CPU bottleneck! In larger resolution too

У i5-10400F загрузка процессора 56%, против 73% у i3 12100F.
По мимо игры работает Виндовс и антивирус, которые могут начать обновление, которое увеличит нагрузку на процессор и оперативную память, что приведет к микрофризам. Есть еще браузер, который может висеть в фоне. Лучше i5-10400F с меньшей нагрузкой.



The i5-10400F has 56% CPU usage, compared to 73% for the i3 12100F.
In addition to the game, Windows and antivirus are working, which can start an update that will increase the load on the processor and RAM, which will lead to microFreeze . There is also a browser that can hang in the background. Better i5-10400F with less load.

can't go wrong with any of intel's budget gaming CPUs. Depending on what current motherboard you own, people should just go with their current gen cheapest cpu -- and that's it, barring celerons.

it goes to show you, core count is important but if your cpu has MUCH faster cores it doesnt matter as much as you would think

the i3 has fewer but stronger cores which is great for gaming, the i5 would be good if you do more stuff with it,
it would be also interesting to see how both CPUs hold after few years when games start requiring and taking a full advantage of more cores

That´s some nasty 45% increase in price for a decrease in gaming performance. 12100f is already a legend lol.

The ultimate confusion now is to choose whether the 4c8t or 6c8t 🙄 because the difference is negligible with a mid range GPU with which these CPUs will be paired.

sold my old i7 4770k+b85m+8gbx2 ddr3+2tb hdd for $120. got 10400f+b560m+8gbx2 ddr4+2tb nvme gen3 with 3d tlc nand and dram cache for $298 all brand new. not the newest and greatest, but it's the best $178 i've ever spent in PC build.

now 10400f is an old tech which the value wont longer drop dramatically like its first 2 years in the market. i could sell the same parts in 2025 which i bought this year for 70% of the price i paid, easily especially with the ad title "...still in warranty".

cpu nowadays are efficient and powerful af for average consumers like us. the only thing hold us back are those poorly optimized games and apps.

i3 12100 made me realize quad cores are not dead, and honestly look pretty darn good for 1080p gaming. Might have to upgrade my i5 9400f to a 12100f

At 2k resolution and GPU like rtx 3060ti, i3 12100 is quite viable.

I bought Ryzen 5 2600 as my first AMD cpu and it was a disappoinment. i5 9400f beats it in everything except multitasking. The system was a headache to setup (XMP Profile was a nightmare). I'd go with Intel again next time.

think I made a right choice buying a 10600kf in 2023, the cpu and motherboard cost significantly less than 12100f yet probably has better performance
