Intel Core i3-9100 Desktop Processor 4 Cores up to 4.2 GHz LGA1151 300 Series 65W

Came in good condition . But haven't gotten around to installing . Will update review when I get it installed . Well got it installed worked great thx

I'm using this for a media center PC, it is using the CPU's graphics.I had my mobo die and it had a i5-8700 in it and I found that the 1151 in that gen is not compatable with current 1151 (thanks, Intel). I was not 100% sure the CPU did not die with the board and old style 1151 boards are hard to find and expensive, so I did a full replacement.I went from a i5-6400 to this i3-9100, and it is actually an upgrade, this i3 outperforms the i5 in benchmarks by 17% and is actually noticeably more peppy than the old processor.This is based on running Linux, Windows is very inefficient so it's hard to say how well it runs under windows - but as a Linux media server, it shines.

I didn't see it in the box at first then saw it in the box before breaking the box down! I will have to come back to provide another review after the receiver of this gift gets to work with it!!!! The package did arrive! Will call and confirm!!!!!!

It was worth it to buy something a little better than the slowest possible choice but it can be slow at times, for my purposes though it gets the job done and I suppose a slow start-up time isn't too bad. Used in a mining rig.

I bought this used for a good price for a project i was working on and, as far as it working as its intended, it did fine. This CPU was launched in 2019. It can still have a purpose in a light use desktop. Something for casual web browsing, email or simple productivity programs. It struggles with gaming. 4 cores in 2025 is very limiting. An 8th or 9th gen i5 would do a much better job with 6 cores. The i3-9100 is still useful but limited it what it can handle and service updates will cease summer 2025.

Purchased for a Plex media center. Works great - loving the hardware transcodes with Intel QuickSync. Handles moderate work loads without issues and can actually be used for light gaming as well. Temps are also good, and the chip is running cool and quiet with a Noctua cooler. Overall very pleased with this upgrade.

I build many computers for retired clients, this is by far the best, solid/stable CPU for very budget pc builds. This CPU along with 2x8GB for 16GB of memory and 660P intel 500GB m.2 NVME SSD... is a 10 year office computer and basic home computer. 100 percent recommend this. No graphics card needed.

this CPU runs like my old 6 core vishnahara... terrible thredding and all. you can at max run 1 or 2 tasks at most before maxing it out but it runs those 1 or 2 programs pretty decent... your getting what you paid for but for a budge gaming build its decent.
