AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X vs Intel Core i3-10105F

The Intel Core i3-10105F is a mainstream desktop processor, manufactured by Intel using the 14 nm process based on the Comet Lake S architecture.

It is designed for everyday tasks such as office applications and web browsing. It offers solid single-core and multi-core performance for this range, equipped with 6 MB of Level 3 cache and a maximum memory bandwidth of 43 GB/s via PCIe 3.0. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X, on the other hand, is a high-end workstation processor from AMD, manufactured using the more advanced 4 nm process with the Zen 5 architecture (codename Shimada Peak).

It is aimed at professional users who require extreme computing power for 3D rendering, video editing, or scientific simulations. This processor shows significantly superior single-core performance and extremely higher multi-core performance, thanks to its very high core and thread count. It features 24 MB of Level 2 and 128 MB of Level 3 cache, as well as a maximum memory bandwidth of 190 GB/s with PCIe 5.0.

In gaming scenarios, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X offers a better gaming experience due to its superior single-core performance, even though it is not primarily optimized for gaming. The Intel Core i3-10105F is acceptable for casual gaming. Power consumption and TDP specifications for both processors are not available.

As expected, the Intel Core i3-10105F is more energy-efficient, while the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X, as a workstation CPU, has significantly higher power requirements. Price information is not available; the Intel processor targets the budget segment, the AMD processor targets the absolute high-end segment.
