Really performant "state employee"

Intel for a long time did not give a damn about the Core i3 line, leaving for it, in fact, leftovers. But with the advent of the younger Ryzen chips, Intel began to stir, first adding 4 physical cores to the youngest processors, and then a full-fledged Turbo Boost. With the advent of the tenth generation, the Core i3 made friends with multithreading, grew out of its panties and approached the Core i5 and even the seventh generation Core i7.

Full multithreading

Now it has 4 physical cores and 4 virtual ones, which operate at the stock frequency of 3.6 GHz and can be automatically overclocked to 4.3 GHz. Due to additional cores, in most synthetic tests it outperforms its predecessor by 20-30%. These are excellent results. In some programs like Davinci Resolve Studio, the difference in performance reaches a very indecent 50%. At the same time, in software from Adobe (we are talking about Photoshop and Premiere Pro 2020), on the contrary, the lag is reduced to several percent.

Works off every penny, but

In general, Intel turned out to be a really successful entry-level processor, but with one but. Or rather, with two. The first is the predecessor Core i3-9100F, which, although not as fast (and on the old socket), has lost a lot in price and now costs almost half as much. This is the main difficulty with an objective assessment of new processors, you always need to look back at previous models, which can sometimes be found at bargain prices. The second but is the same Ryzen 3300X, which outperforms our hero by 10-15% in almost all real and synthetic tests. But the Core i3-10100 consumes slightly less power and has integrated graphics on board, which is useful when assembling low-cost computers for basic tasks. And from the point of view of recently released processors, the price for it looks more than justified.
