[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have built hundreds of gaming systems over the past 20 years. The 10th Intel Core i3-10100 is a fast little chip. It has four cores and 8 threads which is basically the same category as an 8th gen i7 and below. It is great for gaming paired with a good midgrade graphics card like a gtx 1650 or 1660 or an RX 570 or RX 5500xt for a little over a hundred dollars the performance to price competes with AMD Ryzen CPUs for value.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A basic intel i3 cpu gen 12 Sometimes I need a cpu with graphics and sometimes I don't This build needs the gpu integrated and the intel had it. It does what I need it to do. And as most Intels it is reliable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great CPU for price. Low power, no overclocking though. Placed in a B550 motherboard. Great for a mining rig or personal PC without a need to place games, edit pictures, or edit videos. No issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is still the GOAT as a budget entry level cpu for gamers and parents looking to introduce their kids to pc gaming even now in 2022 this has several years of use for a lot of games

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple little CPU. It cuts the mustard, but wont do a huge lift for you. Was as easy to install as any other CPU; I had no issues with it.
