Intel has launched its new Core i3-10100F budget desktop CPU via a new listing on its ARK website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This new processor is the latest in Intel’s new 10th-generation desktop lineup and aims to compete in the budget gaming market.<\/p>\n

The Intel Core i3-10100F is built on Intel’s 14nm Comet Lake microarchitecture, sporting four physical cores and eight threads.<\/p>\n

It has base and boost clock speeds of 3.6GHz and 4.3GHz, respectively, along with a TDP of 65W.<\/p>\n

The “-F” suffix in the chip’s name indicates that it does not include integrated graphics, making the CPU ideal for budget desktop builders who have a discrete graphics card.<\/p>\n

Intel has priced the Core i3-10100F at between $79 – $97, making it a strong competitor in the budget CPU market and an attractive option for budget gaming PC builders.<\/p>\n

The chip will compete with AMD’s budget Ryzen 3 3300X desktop CPU, which has not yet rolled out to retailers despite its official launch earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Competition from AMD<\/h3>\n

Intel is expected to face stiff competition from AMD following the launch of its Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs last week<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

AMD said these new CPUs offer the best single-threaded and gaming performance of any desktop chips.<\/p>\n

The chipmaker’s new processors are built on a 7nm+ manufacturing process and are based on AMD\u2019s Zen 3 CPU microarchitecture, which brings significant improvements in power efficiency and performance.<\/p>\n

The range includes four new processors, which tops out with the 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 5950X with a maximum boost clock speed of 4.9GHz.<\/p>\n

AMD said the 5950X has broken the Cinebench R20 single-threaded record with a score of 640, compared with the 544 of its Intel rival \u2013 the Core i9-10900K.<\/p>\n

All four of the new processors will be available globally from 5 November 2020.<\/p>\n
