INTEL CORE I3-8100

Intel’s eighth-gen Core i3 saw a healthy upgrade to a quad-core, quad-thread configuration, which means it’s effectively a Core i5 from a few generations previous. The singlecore performance gives it the edge over AMD’s comparable offerings, and the full-fat PCIe lanes mean it plays nicely with graphics cards, too. A great budget option.
