An i3 that will game
DizzieeDoe Posted
i3 is usually looked at as being the bottom of the Intel CPU stack and that primarily does not change here. The 10th generation i3 has only 4 cores that are hyper-threaded to give you 8 threads. Essentially you have a very up-to-date i7 2600K, which came out in 2013, I believe. If you know anything about the history of computers that was the CPU that got us to where we are today. (Thanks Intel). Today, this would not be considered top of the line or anywhere near it, but it is still a great performer for a mid-tier 1080p gaming system. Pair this with an NVIDIA GTX 10 series GPU such as the 1070 or above or AMD Radeon 570 or above and you will not be disappointed with your purchase at all. This is great for entry level gaming PCs, but NOT for streaming, I suggest you move up the product stack to accomplish that kind of task.

Hello DizzieeDoe. Thank you for sharing your review on our 10Th Generation Intel® Core™ i3-10100 Processor. That is correct, the Intel® Core™ i3 Processor family is mostly oriented to entry-level programs and applications such as Microsoft Office Word, Excel and web browsing. Should you need to perform any other task that requires a high demand of graphics, for example gaming or streaming or even video editing or rendering, we suggest you to go for an Intel® Core™ i7 Processor.

Great little CPU for home NAS
BernardM Posted
I bought this CPU for a home NAS and it has performed well beyond expected. It has handled being a Plex streaming server admirably and I honestly I expect it to last for many years to come.

Great Budget Processor!
Naykid Posted
Solid budget processor, was able to get this for a pretty good price. Loaded it up in a new PC I flipped. Runs games like a champ :D Also, pairs well with any GPU.

Good for the price
TechHeadLuis Posted
Bought but replaced as this is more for budget seeing as I saw many reviews saying it an I7 7700 from 4 years ago. Which is still a good CPU but more of a budget-friendly CPU now. Good for now since you cannot find Ryzen CPU this good in the price range of $100.

This is a great value chip and recommended for budget PC builds, budget gamers and anyone looking to upgrade to a 10th gen processor without breaking the bank. For the price point, it does exactly what it is supposed do.
