Intel’s Core i3-12100F and AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPUs are placed head-to-head in ten gaming tests to see which outperforms their competition.
YouTube channel Testing Games compared ten games, pitting each between the recently released Intel Core i3-12100F and AMD’s (almost) three-year-old Ryzen 5 3600 CPUs at 1080p resolution. As you can tell by the title of this article, you will see how far Intel has come in the last several years to be a formidable opponent to AMD as far as affordable but surprisingly powerful processor technology. First, let’s walk through the system components being used. The test setup used by Testing Games is running Microsoft’s previous Windows 10 operating system, ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A D4 motherboard utilizing the Intel Core i3 12100F processor, the ASUS ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard for the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 test, and then uses the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU cooler, two Samsung 970 EVO M.2 2280 1 TB SSD memory, CORSAIR’s RM850i 850W PSU, and an unknown DDR4 memory. Linux 5.17 to release improvements & optimizations to Intel, AMD, & even Apple M1, offers AMD P-State capability The reason for not listing the specific brand of DDR4 memory is odd.
