Intel Core i3 Processors Australia
The i3 processor is a mid-range processor from Intel. It is designed for mainstream users who want more than a budget processor, but don’t need the power of an i5 or i7. The main difference between an i3 and a celeron is that an i3 has Hyperthreading. This means that it can handle two threads at once, rather than just one. This makes it slightly faster and more capable than a celeron. An i3 processor is equivalent to an AMD Athlon II X4 from a performance standpoint. However, the i3 does consume less power, so it will generate less heat. An i3 processor is good enough for office work and basic computer use. It will be able to handle most tasks without any issues. However, if you are planning on doing more demanding tasks, then you will need a more powerful processor. An i3 processor is good value for money. It offers a good mix of performance and power consumption, making it a great choice for most users.

Intel Core i3-13100 Review — Processor Test
Intel Core i3-13100 Review —
Processor Test The Intel Core i3-13100 is a new Raptor Lake processor that is essentially a rebranded i3-12100 with a slight increase in clock speed. It increased by 100 MHz — from 3.3 to 3.4 GHz. Turbo frequency increased by 200 MHz — from 4.3 to 4.5 GHz. The i3-13100 has 4 high-performance cores and 8 threads and has 12MB of L3 cache. Turbo power is 89Tue Supports DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 memory as well as 16 PCI Express 5.0 lanes and 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes.
There are currently 3 similarly priced Intel Core i3-13100 competitors: Intel Core i3-12100, AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and Ryzen 5 5600.
They were tested at 1920×1080 with AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT graphics cards, AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. 32GB DDR4-3600 CL16 RAM used for testing.
Watch Dogs: Legion
When tested with the RX 6650 XT, the Ryzen 5 5600 is 6% faster than the i3-13100 when comparing average FPS and 17% faster when comparing minimum. When upgrading graphics card to RX 6950 XT average FPS gap grows to 25% and to 30% of the minimum FPS. With the RTX 4090, even though the overall frame rate is lower, the lead remains similar: the Ryzen 5600 is 26% faster on average FPS than the Core i3-13100, or 28% faster when compared to the minimum.
The Intel Core i3-13100 is no more than 2% faster than the i3-12100, while the Ryzen 5 5500 outperforms both Core i3 processors.
Total War: Warhammer III
Warhammer III results are very different from what we saw in Watch Dogs. The Radeon 6650 XT graphics card is limited to around 80 frames per second, and all four processors have reached this limit.
The AMD Radeon 6950 XT removes these limitations, and the Ryzen 5600 is now 9% faster than the Core i3-13100 at average frame rate comparison and 20% faster at minimum frame rate comparison.
With RTX 4090, this difference increases to 23% for Medium framerate and 25% for Low.
Hitman 3
Paired with the RX 6650 XT, all four processors produce about 110 frames per second. With the RX6950 XT, however, the difference is completely different: the Ryzen 5500 roughly matches the Core i3s, but the Ryzen 5600 was 14% faster than the i3-13100 and a whopping 24% faster at minimum FPS. However, the difference is shrinking again with the RTX 4090. Now the Ryzen 5600 is 12% faster than the Core i3-13100 in the average frame rate comparison and only 8% faster in the minimum frame rate comparison.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
Using the Radeon 6650 XT, all four processors perform the same in CoD MW2, the Ryzen 5600 took the lead in average frame rates, but only 6% faster than the Core i3-13100, so there’s a difference small.
The
Radeon 6950 XT gives the Ryzen 5600 a 20 percent average frame rate gain and a 22 percent minimum FPS gain over the i3-13100.
Using the RTX 4090, the Ryzen 5600 was 14% faster than the Core i3-13100 in average frame rates, and a whopping 33% faster when comparing lows.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the Radeon 6650 XT maxed out at around 110fps with the game’s highest settings, and all four processors were able to achieve this. However, with the RX 6950 XT, the Intel Core i3 processor is left behind, and the Ryzen 5 5600 is now 21% faster than the i3-13100. C RTX 4090, the Ryzen 5 5600 is 27% faster than the i3-13100, or a whopping 36% faster when comparing the lows.
Horizon Zero Dawn
Horizon Zero Dawn shows all four CPUs hitting 120-130 FPS with the Radeon 6650 XT. But when we upgraded to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, the i3-2100, i3-13100, and R5 5500 hit around 160fps, while the Ryzen 5 5600 hit 189fps. This made it 12% faster than the i3-13100, and that difference grew to 22% with the RTX 4090.
Cyberpunk 2077
With the Radeon 6650 XT, all processors hit about 95 FPS. All four processors actually performed better with the Radeon 6950 XT than with the RTX 4090, for example the Ryzen 5600 was 12% faster with the Radeon graphics card. It was also 15% faster than the Core i3-13100, so here’s another comfortable win for the Zen 3 CPU.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
was undergoing a major overhaul. Using the Radeon 6650 XT, the Ryzen 5600 was 17% faster than the Core i3-13100, or 11% faster in terms of minimum FPS. The Ryzen 5500 was the slowest of the four CPUs tested, with the i3-13100 at 19% faster. However, for the most part, the performance of the 5500 and Core i3 was the same.
Average performance in 12 games
If we compare the average performance in 12 games, we can see that with the Radeon RX 6650 XT, the performance was the same for all four processors due to the fact that it bumped into the performance of the graphics card.
The Ryzen 5 5600 was 3% faster on average than the Core i3-13100.
With the Radeon 6950 XT, the Ryzen 5600 outperforms the Core i3-13100 by 11% or 12% when compared to minimum FPS. That’s a decent performance advantage and we’re seeing a similar lead with the GeForce RTX 4090.
The Intel Core i3-13100 outperforms its predecessor i3-12100 by no more than 3%.
Intel Core i3 13100f turned out to be much worse than Intel Core i3 12100f in consumer qualities
Blogs
DenebCore The post was rewarded
The Intel Core i3 13100f, Raptor Lake family, which went on sale, turned out to be worse than its predecessor in terms of consumer qualities. The processor did not receive any microarchitectural improvements, in fact the manufacturer only increased the clock frequency by 200 Mhz. But it costs in Russian retail much more expensive than the Intel Core i3 12100f.
But most importantly, Intel blocked overclocking on the bus, which makes the younger «dinosaur» useless for overclockers.
recommendations
Not always something new is better than the old one, often earlier solutions outperform their followers. Here is the Core i3 13100f processor, the Raptor Lake family, there are not enough stars from the sky and differs little from its predecessor Core i3 12100f. It has all the same four cores and eight threads, and only a 200 MHz increased clock frequency. The weakened E cores were not brought into the new processor at all, although such a move would be logical and would create at least some advantages over its predecessor. The CPU frequency increased by 200 MHz provides an increase in performance in games and benchmarks by an average of 5%, which is very small. The user will not even notice this increase. But the barrier of 700 «parrots» per core was taken, in the popular CPU-Z benchmark.
The new processor does not shine when overclocking RAM, on boards with the B660 or B760 chipset, you can squeeze 3600 — 3700 Mhz from DDR4 at best at sane timings, so the Core i3 12100f can, which means the memory controller of the new product is not has undergone significant changes.
The most negative point is that Intel engineers blocked the possibility of overclocking on the bus in the Raptor Lake family at the hardware level. This means that the Core i3 13100f does not represent the slightest value for overclockers. After all, if you take a specialized motherboard, for example ASRock B660M PG Riptide, you can squeeze an impressive 5200 Mhz out of the «old man» Core i3 12100f.
Of course, with such overclocking, the Core i3 12100f confidently outperforms the «dinosaur» in all games and benchmarks, the performance increase can reach 20%. But the cost of the new i3 13100f is disappointing. To date, the price of the Core i3 13100f in the Citylink store is 11590 rubles, against 8490 rubles. for Core i3 12100f. An overpayment of 35% does not at all cover a five percent difference in performance, and for overclockers, buying a new product is completely meaningless. And by and large, the release of 13th generation i3 processors, with such minimal changes, is completely unjustified, except that the goal was to block overclocking on the bus.
