Review on 💰 Intel Core i3-10100: Best Price and Performance for Everyday Computing by Mei Zhou ᠌

Old PC: xeon e3 1230 v2 scalped, worth liquid metal, (similar to i7 3770), gtx 760 memory 7640 MHz core 1150+ (don't remember exactly), sata ssd 2x240gb raid 0, h61, ddr3 1600 mhz 7-8-8- 21 cr1 dual rank. New: i3 10100, same video card, 2x8 GB memory is the cheapest rank 1 3000 mhz 17-19-19-38 cr1, z490, sata ssd 2x240gb raid 0. I don’t play games in general, mostly multimedia use of PC, but once already ated the platform and decided to go into final fantasy xv to run around, fight. Previously, the game was desperately freezing during battles at low settings with medium textures (video memory limit 2 GB), and during colorful battles there were drawdowns to 0 fps (freezes), and various just subsidence on loading locations, etc. After replacing the processor and overclocking the memory, before only the timings could be tweaked, and so the friezes in battles are gone, the locations when driving a car are loaded smoothly without landing up to 15 frames and below. The merit of this transition from sata 2.0 to sata 3.0 or the merit of a fast RAM is hard to say. The disadvantages of assembling such a platform now are expensive motherboards, for example, the processor cost 10270, and the motherboard is the cheapest 11860. The memory probably needs to be taken better, so that it is 3200 MHz and higher, but here on the budget. When installing the old cooler on the new i3 10100 in games, the temperature jumped from 46-53 to 64-72 degrees. In the aida 64 test, the processor just started up to 86 degrees and I turned off the test, my old one warmed up no more than 68. Maybe it's in the thermal interface under the cover, maybe in the raw bios of the board, but anyway the processor is noticeably hotter than my old man. In the cinebench r20 test, there are about 2200 multi-threads, ~ 450 single cores. A lot or a little - it's hard to say, I only tested the old stone in cinebench r15, but I think ~ 30% will definitely be an increase. For the build budget on this hardware, it would probably be wiser to buy a ryzen 2700 + b450 / 3600 + b450, better memory, but then it's up to you to decide. + in the competitor's piggy bank this is a thinner 7 nm process technology, again, marketing or not, but according to tests it seems to be colder.
