Intel Core i3-10105 vs. 9100 for Gaming?

I'm currently trying to decide between the Intel Core i3-10105 and 9100 for my gaming PC build. Can anyone help me out? Any insights on which would be better?

Hey @yuricurri, both CPUs are decent, but the Core i3-9100 has a slight edge in performance, especially for gaming. The higher single-core turbo boost frequency of 4.20 GHz compared to the 10105's 4.40 GHz might not seem like much, but it can make a noticeable difference in certain games.

I recently read an article on TechReviewer that compares these two CPUs in detail. It could help you make a decision. Here's the link: Intel Core i3-10105 vs. Intel Core i3-9100.

Yeah, I've also used both of them and I'd say go for the i3-9100 if gaming is your primary concern. The higher turbo frequency definitely makes a difference, especially during fast-paced games like Apex Legends.

Thanks for the input, guys! So it seems like the 9100 would be better for gaming in general? What about for general use apps or productivity?

For general use apps and productivity, both CPUs should perform similarly. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and your budget. If you can afford the slightly more expensive i3-9100, I'd go with that.

Thanks @stevebconnect and everyone else for the input! I'll check out the TechReviewer article @buzzorotto mentioned and see if it helps me decide.

Thanks again, I'll probably stick with the 9100 based on your recommendations. Have a great day!

You too! If anyone has any other suggestions or experiences, feel free to share!
