Intel's entry-level Core i3-10100 CPU requires an all-new motherboard platform to install, and our sample chip's performance numbers are far enough below AMD's competing Ryzens to stifle most of its four-core appeal.

AMD's first-generation "non-X" Ryzen processors were universally hailed as budget champions. That changes with the company's 2000-series CPUs, though. Its Ryzen 7 2700 is only $30 cheaper than the 2700X. Given a choice between them, we'd rather have the flagship's great performance and capable bundled cooler for a few dollars more.

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.

Intel’s Core i9-9900KF lacks integrated graphics, but includes all of the other features you get from Core i9-9900K, including eight cores, high frequencies, and a solder-based thermal interface material for improving cooling performance. Like its counterpart, the Core i9-9990KF is the fastest mainstream processor on the market. But unless it lands on shelves at a significant discount, you're better off waiting for the -9900K to enjoy better availability.

The Ryzen 5 1600 brings six cores and twelve threads at a great price point that places it in direct contention with Intel's four-core Kaby Lake lineup.

The Ryzen 5 1500X offers a competitive price point and a good mix of characteristics, particularly if you're willing to invest some time in tuning. Gaming remains a soft spot in the Ryzen series, but a bit of tuning provides a good bang-for-the-buck option against comparable locked Intel Core i5's.
