Ryzen 3 1200 or I3 7100? (Without overclocking)

[Alahmed Jihha]

Which would be the best for me (with a 1050TI)? I don't want to overclock and i never will.

If i only use their standard powers, without overclocking anything, which one should i get?

Also, i wont be upgrading those processors for many years, maybe even 7 years, so by the time i will have to buy a new motherboard for the new processors.

Ryzen for sure, not to mention easy OCing potential.

i wont be overclocking any time

Even without OCing, Ryzen wins

Thank you, how about the temperature of the ryzen 3? i live in the middle of the desert, its very hot. The stock cooler is good?

Ryzen runs cooler than intel in general

I3 8100 would be better than both except you would have to wait a few months for an affordable motherboard.

If you want it now get the Ryzen.

Totally agreed with Dugimodo

R3 is 65w, i3 is 54w. The Intel is cooler naturally. But. There's a gimmick to that. The R3 is a quad core +HT and the i3 is dual core +HT, so running anything using 2 threads or less will mean the Intel runs at a slightly cooler rate. Running anything 3 threads and up means the R3 runs cooler as the Intel cpu usage skyrockets, as it's now into the HT threads. Honestly, the differences are only a few °C at that level, but there's a further gimmick to that too. The stock cooler on the amd Ryzen cpus is far superior to that of the Intel. The Ryzen cooler can handle full cpu usage + some OC and still stay within limits, the Intel cooler is designed for normal operations, basically meaning cpu usage of 50% or less for extended periods. Anything that pushes close to 100% cpu usage for any length of time is considered extreme usage and beyond Intel cooler capabilities.

Add it all up and the Ryzen general performance far exceeds any specific performance gains from Intel.

R3 does not have HT, it's 4 cores/ 4 threads
i3 7100 is 2 cores / 4 threads
i3 8100 is 4 cores / 4 threads

AMD coolers are better, and yes you can overclock with it. Intel coolers can handle any loads at stock speeds, they just get a bit hot at 100% - but they still work perfectly fine. The OP says without overclocking. Without overclocking the i3 8100 will win at everything compared to the ryzen 3 1200

There are no gimmicks, the CPUs have their strengths and weaknesses but in the end i3 8100 > Ryzen 3 1200 > i3 7100 That's just the simple truth.
The Ryzen will be close enough to the 8100 to keep up anyway, but it is slower across the board unless/until you overclock it. Still not a bad choice and available right now.

If you aren't going to overclocking, be sure to get the ryzen 3 1300x as it would have a higher base clock by default. It costs slightly more but would be a little better.
