Cons

Only four performance cores
No integrated graphics at all
Limited upgrade path on this socket

Verdict

Our verdict on the Core i3-14100F

A budget quad-core CPU that offers solid everyday performance for basic builds, but lacks integrated graphics.

Get it if you need a cheap, cool-running chip for a basic gaming or office build where raw power isn't the priority. Skip it if you multitask heavily or edit video, as its low core count will choke on anything demanding.
