The Intel Core i3-12100 kills the Ryzen 3 3300X

Intel's processor compared to the Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 3 3300X in several benchmarks and games.

In the desktop segment , Intel had somewhat abandoned the Core i3s with its eleventh generation (Rocket Lake-S), since the Core i3s offered were Comet Lake Refresh. The situation will change with the Alder Lake-S range, which will contain well of Core i3s. One of them, the Core i3-12100, which should, according to our table listing all the Alder Lake desktop chips , coexist with a Core i3-12300, has been subjected to a whole series of tests. by XFastest. It takes on two chips from AMD, the Ryzen 3300X and Ryzen 3 3100.


Like other Alder Lake processors, this Core i3-12100 does not benefit from the hybrid architecture characteristic of this family. It has indeed four Golden Cove cores and no Gracemont core. This results in a classic 4-core / 8-thread configuration. Each of the cores relies on 1.25MB of L2 cache, and all share 12MB of L3 cache. The base frequency is apparently 3.3 GHz; The Turbo Boost frequency of 4.3 GHz. The TDP is 60 W.

XFastest installed Intel's processor on an ASRock Z690 Steel Legend motherboard. It works with 16 GB of DDR4-3600 memory and an NVIDIA GeFore RTX 3060 Ti graphics card. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 3 3300X take place on an ASRock X470 Taichi motherboard and work with the same RAM and GPU. The characteristics of the three fighters are recorded in the table below.


All three processors have proven their worth in various benchmarks, including Cinebench R23 or 7-Zip. Except for decompression on 7-Zip, where it is beaten by the Ryzen 3 3300X, the Core i3 dominates its rivals of the day.

You'll agree, the Core i3-12100 does a good job, especially since it shouldn't normally cost too much. However, keep in mind that the Ryzen 3 3300X is no longer very young and under Zen 2 architecture: the Ryzen 5000 series under Zen 3 architecture does not indeed offer any Ryzen 3.
