About the Intel Core i3-9100F CPU
The Intel Core i3-9100F is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2019 with a suggested retail price of $122. It is part of Intel's Core i3 lineup, which is based on the Coffee Lake Refresh microarchitecture. The i3-9100F is compatible with Intel Socket 1151 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Core i3-9100F supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i3-9100F has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 6 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i3-9100F features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.6 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.2 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Core i3-9100F does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The Core i3-9100F has the 285th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 23.63% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 8,742 score and $122 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 71.66. This is the 22nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
About the Intel Core i9-13900K CPU
The Intel Core i9-13900K is a 24-core (32-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2022 with a suggested retail price of $589. It is part of Intel's Core i9 lineup, which is based on the Raptor Lake microarchitecture.

In terms of cache, the Core i9-13900K has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 36 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i9-13900K features 24 total cores which can process 32 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 24 cores consist of 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores. P-Cores are designed for high-performance tasks and E-Cores are intended for efficiency and lighter tasks. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.0 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.8 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Core i9-13900K includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 770. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The Core i9-13900K has the 9th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 84.31% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 31,187.5 score and $589 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 52.95. This is the 38th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
