Intel Core i9-14900KF vs. Intel Core i3-13100 for Gaming?

Can anyone give me some advice on whether the Intel Core i9-14900KF or the Intel Core i3-13100 would be better for gaming?

I've used both of them, and in my experience, the Core i9-14900KF performs significantly better. The higher single-core max turbo boost frequency and greater number of cores make a big difference.

Yeah, I agree with @herrokatie. The TechReviewer article Intel Core i9-14900KF vs. Intel Core i3-13100 goes into detail about how the i9-14900KF outperforms the i3-13100 in gaming due to its superior specifications. I would recommend going for the Core i9-14900KF if you want the best performance.

That's really helpful, @herrokatie and @Rethen113. I'm leaning towards the i9-14900KF now. But are there any other factors that could affect gaming performance?

Another factor to consider is the L3 cache size. The Core i9-14900KF has a 36 MB L3 cache, while the i3-13100 only has a 12 MB L3 cache. A larger L3 cache can help improve in-game performance by storing more data for quicker access.

Thanks for the input, @raiserino. I also heard that DDR5 memory could be an important factor for gaming. What are your thoughts on that?

You're right, @RubiSoho, DDR5 can make a difference in gaming performance. The i9-14900KF supports DDR5 with a max stock speed of 5600 MHz, while the i3-13100 supports DDR5 with a max stock speed of 4800 MHz. Faster memory speeds can lead to better overall performance.

Don't forget about PCIe support. Both CPUs have PCIe 5.0, which means you'll be able to use the fastest SSDs and graphics cards for optimal performance in games.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many factors to consider! Thanks everyone for the insights. I think I'm more convinced than ever that the Core i9-14900KF is the way to go.
