Intel Core i3-10100

In terms of gaming performance, the deltas between the Core i3-10100 and the Ryzen 3 3300X are hardly noticeable. In multi-threaded content creation workloads, that’s where the latter really sets itself apart. However, as already mentioned, AMD’s extended platform support and overclocking ability for even the lower-end B series motherboards are what really seal this win for the 3300X.

With the Intel Core i3-10100, Intel offers a fast and economical desktop processor for office systems.

Unless Intel can drop the price of the Core i3-10100 to around $100, AMD Ryzen is the better option. The only exception is if you do not plan on using a discrete graphics card. Here, the Core i3-10100 is an excellent choice for price/performance because its integrated graphics are good enough for all desktop work and the Quick Sync video engine accelerates video encoding in many applications.
