The quad-core processor representing the Coffee Lake Refresh series belongs to the entry-level solutions created using the 14-nm process technology. It is intended for the layout of multifunctional systems used for both work and entertainment, including games. The Intel i3-9100F BOX processor is equipped with an LGA 1151 v2 socket, which ensures compatibility with numerous modern motherboards.
Responsible for performance are four single-threaded cores with a clock frequency of 3.6 GHz each and the ability to automatically increase the computing potential by 600 MHz with increasing loads (Turbo Boost technology). The CPU is characterized by low power consumption and heat dissipation up to 65 W, maintains performance at temperatures up to 100 °C. Performance is determined by the presence of 6 MB of cache memory of the third level, and the maximum amount of supported "RAM" is 64 GB (DDR4 2400 MHz format).

Evolution
A couple of years ago, Core i3 chips were of little interest to anyone. High price, only 2 physical cores and a powerful competitor in the face of Ryzen 3 – and who would want to buy it against such a background? Understanding the problem, Intel seriously worked on the next generation, making the quad-core Core i3 8100 a hit in the low-cost segment. In the case of the ninth generation i3, we are not waiting for a revolution, but an evolution.
The best quad core on the market
First, Turbo Boost has been added. In normal mode, the 9100F delivers the same 3.6 GHz as its predecessor, but can be overclocked to 4.2 GHz, getting an additional 10 – 15% of power. But the main thing is not even that, but the fact that the price has actually dropped by a third, thanks to which the impudent newcomer threatens to take the title of king of the low-cost segment from the Ryzen 3 2200G. It has a larger cache volume and higher nominal frequencies, which neutralizes the advantages of the overclocking potential of the AMD chip. There is not only an integrated core, but such chips are usually used in tandem with a graphics card, so this is a relative advantage.
golden ratio
Plus, the Core i3 9100 F runs on the same socket 1151 v2 as the previous generation of Coffee Lake, so there will be no problems. Neither with compatibility, nor with high prices for new motherboards at the start of sales, as was the case with the seventh generation of Intel. In general, if you are planning an inexpensive but modern assembly based on Intel, then be sure to look here, here you will find the price, good performance, and a hassle-free upgrade in a couple of years. There is absolutely no point in buying a dual-core Pentium Gold for the same money now.
