Intel i3-10100 beats i7-7700K

7700K is the same chip but with higher clocks so it should be faster.

Here's a "conclusions" page. Pretty much the same as before with the other locked chips. You need to put it in a Z490 board to take advantage of memory overclocking and the "max turbo" overclocking and then it will be a decent CPU for the price. If you're on a non Z chipset, you're stuck with 2666Mhz memory and most boards won't override the PL1 turbo and it drops performance in 1080p gaming some 6% which then means the Ryzen 3300x at the same price is a better buy (and is arguably anyway unless you want/need the IGP).

Clicked on a link here that shows the new i3 being better than older i3 and getting closer to really old i5's. (yawn)

With that said, it really hammers older Pentiums. So, would be quite an upgrade in that case. Where did it beat the i7-7700K again?
 
I used i3-8350k clocked at 4.7ghz and it was more than fine for 4k gaming. I'm not sure what you even need top CPUs for today.

and you'd be correct.. the i3-10100 is about as fast as the AMD R3 3100 and significantly slower than the 3300x when run at the memory specs that B/H400 series boards would be limited to.. if B/H series boards end up not being restricted to the 2666mhz memory limit then going up to 3200mhz add's about 10% which puts it closer to a stock 7700k but still not beating it. the 10300/320 likely won't make much of a difference either, maybe they'll match the 7700k on a z490 board.

I am contemplating using something like this CPU in my Z490 board until the other processors become readily available.
 
Seems to score about 100 pts higher single core in Cinebench R20 than my 4.4ghz 3770K (I get mid 340's).
