Intel core i3 8100 vga review năm 2024

Given that the Ryzen 5 1500X matches the Core i5-7600K in our Premiere Pro CC workload I knew the 8350K would be close and it turned out to be a little slower, trailing the R5 1500X by a 7% margin. Meanwhile the i3-8100 comfortably beats its nearest competitor, the R3 1300X by a 10% margin.

So again the Core i3-8100 looks quite impressive. Out of the box, the 8350K isn't nearly as impressive and again it was much slower than the slightly more expensive 8400, 25% slower this time.

Moving on to Blender using the Ryzen Graphic 27 workload we see that the Core i3-8100 easily beats the R3 1300X, completing the task 11% faster. Meanwhile the 8350K was 5% slower than the Ryzen 5 1500X and that margin will likely remain once both CPUs are overclocked and we'll look at that a little later on. It's also worth noting that the Core i5-8400 was 32% faster than the 8350K.

Corona takes better advantage of SMT it seems as here the Ryzen 5 1500X is almost able to match the Core i5-8400 and as a result it was almost 30% faster than the 8350K, good luck removing that margin via overclocking.

The Core i3-8100 was able to edge out the Ryzen 3 1300X though I suspect with a little tinkering the Ryzen CPU might be able to claim the lead here.

Here we see that the Core i3-8350K and Ryzen 5 1500X are again quite evenly matched and I suspect that will remain true once both are overclocked to the max. The 8350K was 20% slower than the Core i5-8400 this time while the Core i3-8100 beat the Ryzen 3 1300X with ease and there is no way the AMD CPU will make up the roughly 20% deficit through overclocking.

Today we have our Intel Core i3-8100 benchmarks and review. Over the years, Intel has allowed the Core i3 models to fill the role as low-cost server CPUs for the edge. Unlike most of the Core i5 and Core i7 models, one can get unbuffered ECC DIMM support in the Core i3 series. Many server vendors such as Dell EMC, Lenovo, and Supermicro make workgroup servers or small tower servers that utilize these Core i3 CPUs in base configurations.

If you read our Intel Core i3-8300 review you will see that this series started as a different activity. We were trying to accelerate our Supermicro X11SCA-F Review and the Intel Xeon E-2100 chips were not yet available from US distributors. After we purchased the Intel Core i3-8300 intending to simply use it as a “light the platform” bridge, we realized that it has its own unique value proposition. That was a sample size of one SKU and we had requests to review other processors in the socket so we are adding the Intel Core i3-8100 to the mix. You will also see a few numbers for upcoming Intel Xeon E-2100 series reviews in this article even though those chips were not available at the time of the last review.

Key stats for the Intel Core i3-8100: 4 cores / 4 threads and 3.6GHz with 6MB cache. You read that right. The base clock is 3.7GHz, but it does not feature Turbo boost nor Hyper-Threading. The CPU features a 65W TDP. Compared to the Core i3-8300 this is 100MHz slower, with 25% less cache and a 3W TDP boost. This is a $117 price point which is fairly low on the overall spectrum of CPUs these days and less costly than the i3-8300. Here is the ARK page with the feature set.

Here is what the lscpu output looks like for the chips:

Compared to other CPUs in this price range, the Intel Core i3 can work in Intel Xeon E-2100 platforms, while at the same time offering high clock speeds at a low cost.

Test Configuration

Here is our basic configuration for this class of CPU:

• Motherboard: Supemicro X11SCA-F
• CPU: Intel Core i3-8100
• RAM: 4x 8GB DDR4-2400 ECC UDIMMs
• SSD: Intel DC S3710 400GB
• SATADOM: Supermicro 32GB SATADOM

The CPU itself supports up to 64GB of RAM, in a 4x 16GB configuration, however, we see these platforms using 32GB or less given cost sensitivities.

Our test system booted immediately with the Intel Core i3-8100 which was a great feature. This was a case where everything simply “just worked” in the platform, even using a non-Xeon CPU.

There are going to be folks who want to point to AMD alternatives. As of this writing, there are really no alternatives in this space because while AMD may have competitive CPU parts, vendors have a vibrant Intel Xeon E-2100/ Core i3 ecosystem. AMD needs to do some work here to catch up, but it is not a focus market for them. Single socket servers in this segment are a relatively low volume area.

Next, we are going to take a look at our Intel Core i3-8100 benchmarks, we are then going to focus on power consumption then conclude with our final words on the processors.

Is the i3 8100 a good CPU?

In short, the Core i3-8100 is still a decent gaming CPU, but now that prices for the Ryzen 5 2600 have come down so dramatically since it first launched, AMD's entry-level processor is a much more enticing proposition for budget PC builders.

Does i3 8100 have integrated graphics?

Intel has equipped the Intel Core i3-8100 processor with an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 chipset that outputs up to 4K visuals through your motherboard's DisplayPort and HDMI ports.

Is the i3 8th generation good or bad?

Conclusion. Intel 8th Gen processors are a good choice if you are planning to use it for another one or two years. But if you are thinking of using it for more than 2 years, it is recommended to invest in newer generation processors as it will offer good performance and longevity.

How old is the i3 8100?

Core i3-8100 is a 64-bit quad-core entry-level performance x86 desktop microprocessor introduced by Intel in mid-2017.
