Summary

The Intel Core i3-10100F is based on the proven Comet Lake S architecture. Manufactured using the mature 14 nm process, this processor provides a reliable foundation for many systems. Its four cores and eight threads enable surprisingly good multi-core performance for an i3. In Cinebench 2024, the Intel Core i3-10100F achieved 64 points in the single-core test.

In multi-core performance, it showed a solid 295 points. This makes it a suitable choice for everyday computing tasks such as surfing the internet or office applications. It can also form a stable platform for light gaming, provided a dedicated graphics card is available. With 6 MB Level 3 Cache and a maximum memory bandwidth of 43 GB/s, it is well equipped.

The connection via PCIe 3.0 is still perfectly adequate for many purposes. We were surprised at how well the Intel Core i3-10100F still performs today. It is a recommendable and, above all, inexpensive option for reliable PC systems.

Reliable for everyday tasks
Good multi-thread performance
Suitable for light gaming (with dedicated GPU)
Attractive price-performance ratio
