When assembling a computer, everyone’s needs are different. Some people may just do simple paperwork and surf the Internet, while others need to use it for work, drawing, editing, or playing games, so the suitable processors are of course different. Having said that, the performance of each generation of processors is different, and many people are still stuck at the stage of which one to choose? Even people who are very familiar with computers. If you have determined that you want to buy Intel’s 10th generation processor, foreign media recently measured the performance data of Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 processors in various aspects, which should provide a lot of reference. I will summarize it for you below.

Foreign media actually measured Intel’s 10th generation i3, i5, i7, and i9 processors
Recently, foreign media Techspot tested Intel’s 10th generation Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 processors for basic running scores, graphics editing, game performance and other data. Of course, not every model was tested (this should run to death). Every Core i series was tested. The following is the list:
- Intel Core i9-10900K
- Intel Core i7-10700K
- Intel Core i5-10600K
- Intel Core i5-10400
- Intel Core i3-10100
There is a lot of actual measurement data in this report. I will only summarize a few key points for you. If you want to know the complete content, please click the link at the end of the article.
The first is the Adobe video editing and drawing part. The following picture is the test result of Adobe Premiere Pro 2020. It can be clearly seen that the more cores, the relative speed is much faster. The difference between i3 and i9 is almost doubled. Therefore, for those who need to edit videos, the number of cores is the key point:

Although the gap is not so obvious in the Adobe Photoshop part, compared to other models, the i9 processor is still the best. People with a limited budget can choose the i5-10600K in the middle:

The gap between Adobe After Effects 2020 and Photoshop tests is almost the same, mainly affected by the processor clock. 10900K is 35% faster than 10100, and 10700K is 20% faster than 10600. What’s more interesting is that 10600K is almost the same as 10700K, so you should know which one to choose:

In terms of games, let’s first look at Battlefield V, which is equipped with an RTX 2080 Ti graphics card. From the 1080p data results, we can find that if your computer has a high-end graphics card, even if you use an i3-10100 processor, you can get a very good FPS. At the same time, the i7-10700K is enough to provide the highest performance. Unless you are an extreme player, you can choose i7:

1440p is similar, the difference is more obvious between i3-10100 and i5-10400:

Far Cry New Dawn (Far Cry New Dawn) is a game that has high requirements on the processor’s clock speed and cache. Therefore, upgrading from 10100 to 10400 will achieve a considerable performance improvement. The jump from 10400 to 10600K is relatively small, only 8%:

For Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which has very high processor requirements, a 6-core/12-thread processor is enough. The Core i5 is not much different from the 8-core i7 and 10-core i9. The 4-core Core i3-10100 is 39% slower:

In terms of graphics calculation, obviously please do not choose i3-10100, it will be very slow. If your budget is limited, the i5-10400 is a good choice, with a 50% performance improvement and the price is not much higher. There is not a big difference between 10600K and 10400, so if you want to buy 10600K, you might as well save the money and choose 10400:

Techspot recommends that if you have a budget for a “gaming computer”, or for general paperwork and Internet use, choosing the i3-10100 is already good. However, if you can spend a little more money on the processor, the i5-10400 is a better investment.
Those who want to buy a discrete graphics card can choose the Core i5-10400F, which has a higher CP value than its rival Ryzen 5 3600.
