Lacks modern platform upgrade path

Verdict

Our verdict on the Core i3-14100

The Intel Core i3-14100 is a cheap, low-power quad-core CPU that’s fine for basic tasks but offers zero performance gain over its predecessor.

Get it if you need a cheap, low-power chip for a basic office PC or light gaming rig that just works. Skip it if you want more than four performance cores for multitasking or modern AAA games.
