Core i3-8100T Details

For users seeking a power-efficient, budget-friendly desktop processor with integrated graphics, the Intel Core i3-8100T offers a compelling entry-level option. Launched in April 2018, this CPU is based on Intel’s Coffee Lake architecture and is built on a 14 nm process node. Designed for mainstream desktop use, it features a 35 W TDP, making it ideal for low-power systems such as home office PCs, media centers, or compact builds where thermals and energy consumption are priorities.

The Core i3-8100T is a quad-core processor with four threads, operating at a base frequency of 3.1 GHz and featuring a 6 MB L3 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR4-2400 memory with a maximum capacity of 64 GB, delivering a memory bandwidth of up to 35.76 GiB/s. The processor is compatible with LGA-1151 sockets and requires a 300 series chipset, ensuring support for modern peripherals via PCIe 3.0. Despite its modest core count, it includes a range of Intel-specific technologies such as AVX, AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel VT-x, providing strong performance for everyday productivity and light content creation.

Integrated graphics are handled by the UHD Graphics 630, which offers a base frequency of 350 MHz and can boost up to 1.1 GHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and is suitable for HD video playback, basic photo editing, and casual gaming at lower settings. While not designed for high-end gaming or 4K rendering, it enables system functionality without requiring a discrete graphics card, reducing overall system cost.

In benchmark testing, the Core i3-8100T achieves a PassMark Overall Score of 5054, placing it at #827 out of 2060 processors. Its Singlecore Score is 5242, ranking #771, indicating strong per-core performance relative to its class. The Multicore Score of 4772 ranks it #886, showing it holds its own against older and mid-tier CPUs like the Core i7-4800MQ and Core i3-9100. However, it falls behind modern processors such as the Ryzen 5 7520U and Core i5-6287U, which outperform it in both single- and multicore workloads.

As of March 2026, the Core i3-8100T remains a viable option for light computing tasks, particularly in systems where power efficiency and cost are critical. While newer processors offer significant gains in performance and features, the i3-8100T continues to deliver reliable performance for general productivity, web browsing, and media consumption. Its combination of low power draw and integrated graphics makes it well-suited for entry-level desktops and small form-factor builds.
