The Intel Core i3 14100F - Is The Best Quad Core CPU Worth Buying?

[@Winnetou17]

I can't express how disappointed I am that 14100 STILL does not use Raptor Cove cores. That is, the P cores in i7 and i9 13th and 14th gen CPUs, which have 2 MB of L2 cache each. 12th gen CPUs and 13100 and now 14100 too STILL have the 1.25 MB L2 cache one. Dang it Intel!

Thanks, didn't know they still use Alder Lake for the 13 and 14 gen i3 CPUs, now it makes sense why they are not faster at all, so it's not just a refresh of a refresh like 14gen but refresh of a refresh of a refresh, that is indeed very disappointing.

This idea was for the minecraft server where you need 1c power. It runs smoother on 2 cores with 5GHz overclock. You can still push all cores to 5GHz but with increased voltage ( in my opinion too much and not worth of doing that, considering that you seriously shorting this cpu's life span even tho you have 70c max ). i3 14th gen is the best of the best, providing strong single core performance and 4c performace and 8 threads of top of that as well for the extra UMPF if i can say that way.

For example my old 12100 in Borderlands 2 ( I know it's old but it will give you an example of the differences) maxed out at 220 FPS (I lock the game to 60 FPS when playing, this was just to see how much more head room my new CPU gave me in general) with my 4070 Super at max settings at 1080P, when I switched to the 12600 none K at the same settings and resolution my FPS increased to a quite frankly stupid 700 FPS! So yeah, while I recommend any desktop 12th, 13th and 14 gen i3 if that is all you can afford, as they're truly really great CPU's, you'll be happy with the performance for the money, if you can stretch to an i5-12400 at the minimum then go for it as it's just in another league.

[@Lurch-Bot]

Single threaded score is quite impressive. The multi-threaded performance is like that of a Ryzen 6 core from a couple of generations ago. This is an acceptable CPU for an entry level gaming rig but that's about it. Core count is starting to matter more in AAA gaming and some benchmarks I saw just today suggest that even a midrange GPU really should have an 8 core CPU. I would likely see another 5-15fps in some more recent titles with my 3060 if I had a 5700X instead of a 5600X. Also, cache is king. A 5800X3D would give substantially better framerates with my 3060. The fact the bottom tier intel CPU has had the same amount of cache for the past 3 generations is pretty sad and says that they've just given up on the quad core at this point. Even AMD has seemingly thrown in the towel on quad cores with the launch of the Ryzen 3 5100 and 5300G, with just 8MB L3 cache.

I don't know if AMD abandoned Ryzen 3 or if they simply turned Ryzen 5 in to the new Ryzen 3. I highly doubt we will see a Ryzen 3 8300G or 8100G from AMD so a tip of the hat to Intel for at least keeping the product stack alive if in name only. If an 8300G or 8100G were to be a thing it would be in the $120 Cad or lower price group.

Hoping to get a brand new one in black friday sales for £65

[@omegaturkey9249]

I have the i3 14100f with the arc a580 cant complain

[@lbgstzockt8493]

Quadcores have come a long way. My I7 7700k with an RX6950xt gets almost 100fps less in Fortnite. Granted I run at 1440p, but still.

[@gaming-masters-news]

Have you tried the Intel Core i3 14100F 4.70 GHz 14th Gen in UAE from GCC Gamers yet?

[@Cpt_DoDo]

hey. i have bin looking at the i9 12900K. vs 13700K. but i cant see whats the pros and cons are. video idear?

[@Cpt_DoDo]

@Tetsujinmustdie-ct5eb so for less money I can get the same ish spec as a 13700k. Thanks :)

[@enchantedbypower]

Consider including "Stray" and "Horizon Zero Dawn" in your tests. Slower quad core CPUs can struggle with those games, Stray is specially stuttery when using the likes of the Ryzen 3100, 3400g, 2400g, and Core I7 6700.

[@John_Doe1980]

really surprised they havent added 2 E cores to there i3s yet

[@TheHangarHobbit]

The problem with Intel has always been the cost of the boards, they switch sockets too often. My AMD system went from a 1200 to 3600 to 5700x all on the same board, I would have had to buy 3 boards to do the same with Intel.

[@charmingpeasant9834]

Hope they go with 6 cores finally with the 15th gen i3.

[@KimBoKastekniv47]

Missed opportunity to not give it at least 2 e-cores, otherwise it's just another i3-12100.

[@deyeatdapoopoo7582]

Much better to get an i5-12400F unless you won't be playing modern games. Even if most newer games are still playable on quad-core the experience will be smoother and more consistent on a 6-core especially if you have other things running in the background like Discord or your web browser.

[@klapper25]

Hope they launch a 14300f with 2 extra E cores

[@actuallycantdoanything8179]

E cores almost always come in clusters of 4 or multiples of 4, only some really low power/budget chips have 2 E cores

[@wheresbarry1434]

P cores or nothing!

[@DigitalJedi]

​@actuallycantdoanything8179 Outside of ADL-N and Meteor Lake's specialized pair, they have to be in 4s actually. They share the L2 cache and ringbus interfac, so if one is dead, the whole cluster is a gonner.

[@sig3ldunc4nI]

I’m curious if you use software on the computer your benchmarking to record the gameplay or do you use a dedicated pc?

[@Valfaun]

reminder that AM4 isnt quite dead yet and an R5 5600 or 5600X with 6 cores costs as much or even less than these i3s with 4 cores. hell, you can even get the 8-core 5700X for like 30 bucks more. unless you're buying the i3 as a stopgap until you can afford a new i7 or something like that, i guess, AM4 remains an excellent choice for the gamer on a budget

[@EddDoubleDD]

I would like to see some more older games like the original release crysis for these 4 core cpu's as I've noticed that they really don't like running on high core cpu's and would like to know if this would be a good choice over something older with security-speed-holes-inside

[@andrewszombie]

lol the only games I play or care about are FH5 and GTA V so it's great that these chips are fine with those games. this is definitely what I expected 😊

[@Ally_Jane]

Tbh they should put an extra 2 little cores on that thing and it would be a beast

[@madmatt2024]

If you're getting an 4 core CPU like this then you'll most likely see higher FPS with a comparable AMD card because the driver overhead is quite a bit less.

[@DJSammy69.]

Interesting to see 12 vs. 14 that cpu usage is pretty much same.

[@hananas2]

I think it would be a really great CPU if the price was just a bit lower. Right now I can get a ryzen 5 5600 for €129 while the 14100F is €124. Plus AM4 motherboards are a bit cheaper too. Edit: the 12400F is also only €130

[@LittleIMP]

Can you test on what hardware CS2 crashing in Premier matches ?

[@dukejukem413]

do u think a 14400 would be enough to keep the 4060 maxed at 1080p? was thinking a about a 14100 and 4060 but thankfully youve shown me ill be a smidge cpu limited. was debating a build with a 14400 and this or a 14500 with a 4060 ti 16 gig or 4070

[@Prellium]

So should I swap from my Ryzen 9 3900x to this CPU?

[@dannysmith713]

Lol your funny

[@Matsuda26B]

Yes, please do it, PLEASE.

[@gogaming5449]

nice video :D do u have spare r5 5500 to test it against 14100f? r5 5500 is only 87 pounds :O

[@inGameweTrusted]

AMD RX 6600 or RTX 3050 Enough for this cpu.Most times cpu bottlenecking.

[@georgeluvspotato8002]

thought this long gyatt was 6 core,im surprised by the performance,i should probably buy this

[@jerrybhai3362]

In my country I3 12th 13th 14th and r5 5500 costs the same which one should I choose

[@phantomdelux9048]

Why is there no increase in cores in i3,s. i5 got a bump in cores, i3 could have at least 6 cores, in my opinion. because the jump from i3 to i5 is more in the latest generations (13 & 14)

[@lharsay]

Because Intel wants to upsell people to the i5 and i7.

[@phantomdelux9048]

@@lharsay that much i can understand, but then why even make i3 because most people won't even but i3, 13-14gen, and go for i5 like 12400 or 11600

[@ScottGrammer]

Very timely review, as I have a 14100 (non-F) arriving in the mail on Tuesday. We'll see how it does. I'll be pairing it with an Arc A380 SFF in my HTPC to see how the Intel Deep Link technology works to speed up the graphics.

[@b0ne91]

Funny, I've been seeing used 12100F for under 70€, but I could buy a brand 14100F for twice that and 1% improvement, nice

[@RobloxianX]

Short answer: just get the i3-12100F or if you want to get on AM5 for cheap go with the R3 8300G

[@pegaseheracles7588]

Gg job🎉

[@Wutse]

actually hoped they would have gone 6 core already with the I3 , but yeah , intel staying intel

[@lharsay]

And they don't even manufacture any quad core cpu dies, these are all disabled hex core i5 12500 CPUs.

[@djaymigz98]

Would this be good for Photoshop Editing ? Running 64gb DDR5 Ram and a GALAX 3060 Ti ?
