AMD Ryzen 3 4100

AMD's Ryzen 3 4100 and Ryzen 5 4500 are based on an aging design that isn't competitive with Intel's potent Core i3-12100/F, losing by large margins in gaming and other important performance criteria. You should look to more well-rounded previous-gen Ryzen alternatives or a modern Intel chip.
