Gaming Operation

Delight note all testing was conducted using Vega 64 Liquid Cooled since we're by and large focusing on DX12 performance. My upcoming Core i5-8400 review volition once more feature both the GTX 1080 and Vega 64 graphics cards. Anyway when testing with Battlefield 1 we see a few interesting things.

Starting with the Core i3-8100 nosotros see that the faster DDR4-3200 retentiveness boosts the average frame rate past ten% and that was enough to overtake the stock R5 1500X. Even with the DDR4-2400 retentiveness the 8100 was all the same eight% faster than the Ryzen three 1300X. Meanwhile the college clocked 8350K does well, maxing out the Vega 64 Liquid Cooled graphics bill of fare at 1080p using the ultra quality settings.

Side by side up nosotros have Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation and this time the Ryzen iii 1300X gets dominated by the Core i3-8100. Even with the slower DDR4-2400 memory the 8100 was 21% faster than the R3 1300X. Once we paired the 8100 with DDR4-3200 it was able to lucifer the R5 1500X. The 8350K streaked further ahead and was able to friction match the heavy batch event of the Ryzen 5 1600 and Ryzen 7 1700 CPUs.

When testing with Civilization the Core i3-8100 with the faster DDR4-3200 memory was 5% faster for the boilerplate frame charge per unit and nine% for the minimum. So while using DDR4-2400 retention will limit the 8100 to Ryzen 3 1200 like functioning, faster retention does give it an border, at least when compared to Ryzen'due south out of the box performance. The R3 1300X was nonetheless slightly faster and not much slower than the 8350K in this game. Meanwhile the R5 1500X was considerably faster than the 8350K.

Finally nosotros have F1 2022 and there the Cadre i3-8100 using DDR4-2400 retentiveness was thirteen% faster than the Ryzen 3 1300X and just 3% slower than the R5 1500X. Increasing the memory speed immune the 8100 to beat the R5 1500X by a convincing 7% margin.

The 8350K was a further 5% faster as it matched the 7600K but that meant it was still ix% slower than the Core i5-8400.
