Intel 4 Core i3 14100F Raptor Lake Refresh CPU/Processor

Fantastic CPU, fast, lower power and great value :-)

Absolutely perfect for my media and plex server (Runs Unraid without issues)

It's easy to look at Intel's CPU lineup and dismiss i3 completely, with i7 and i9 serving the top end and i5 hitting the middle ground. But for budget builds and specific workloads, such as gaming, the i3 shines at it's price point. It only has 4 cores (8 threads), but the single core speed is phenomenal. And this is important, for workloads that require fewer threads, having those threads run fast is significant. I would not pair this CPU with mid to high end GPUs, but for budget RTX xx50/xx60 series GPUs it can more than keep up. The next step up to i5 more than doubles the cost, this step up should only be made given you have some production workloads or mid/high end GPUs to pair it with.

In a word. Excellent value for money. If you're just looking for a decent CPU to put into a reasonably priced computer for your everyday work, this is a great choice. Currently sitting in my mini ITX highly portable computer.

Perfect top quality

Jsu as you'd expect from Intel but the fittings to the board are ultra fiddly -why can't they bring back the old screw fittings!?? They cause me so much stress

Used to build a Zwifting PC. It's single thread speed with hyperthreading means it runs Zwift at high frame rates. Perfect for the purpose.

Fantastic little processor, it's light on power usage but has the power to handle most everyday tasks, I'd say it would even play up to modern games with a combined powerful GPU. Most PC's these days the bottlenck is the GPU not the CPU.

Good

Buen procesador a un buen precio, suficiente para trabajo de oficina y ofimatica.

J’ai installé ce Intel Core i3-14100 dans mon PC de chambre, et j’en suis très satisfait. Il offre un excellent rapport qualité/prix pour une utilisation orientée bureautique, navigation web, YouTube, streaming et même un peu de retouche photo. Les 4 cœurs / 8 threads assurent une bonne réactivité au quotidien. Le système est fluide, même avec plusieurs applications ouvertes en même temps (Word, Excel, navigateur, etc.). Les performances sont largement suffisantes pour un usage confortable et sans lenteurs. Le ventirad fourni est silencieux en usage normal, et l’installation s’est faite sans difficulté sur ma carte mère ASUS B760. Autre bon point : il chauffe très peu, ce qui est idéal dans une petite pièce. Pour une configuration simple, efficace et économique, c’est un très bon choix. Je recommande ce processeur sans hésitation pour un PC secondaire ou familial.

L'Intel Core i3-14100 è un processore di quattordicesima generazione (Raptor Lake Refresh) che si posiziona come una scelta eccellente per chi cerca un buon equilibrio tra prestazioni, efficienza e costo contenuto. Con un'architettura basata sul processo produttivo Intel 7, questo processore quad-core (4 P-core, 0 E-core) con 8 thread offre una frequenza base di 3.5 GHz e un boost fino a 4.7 GHz, rendendolo particolarmente adatto per attività di produttività quotidiana, gaming leggero e utilizzo multimediale.

Cheap and efficient, no problem. very nice for normal usage of a computer.
