Gaming is more accessible with the i3-12100F: Intel’s entry level Alder Lake desktop processor. Higher end Alder Lake processors feature a combination of performance and efficiency cores, however, the 12100F contains just four hyper-threaded Golden Cove performance cores. It has a max boost frequency of 4.3 GHz, 12 MB of L3 cache and a 58W TDP. The 12100F is keenly priced at around $130 USD and needs to be paired with a new chipset such as the B660. Only users with discrete GPUs should consider “F” models as they do not have integrated graphics. Whilst a budget PC built around the 12100F represents unbeatable value for money, the 6-core i5-12400F, with 50% stronger multi-core, is a better option for gamers with 3060+ tier GPUs. AMD do not have any CPUs competing in this price segment. Entry level gamers, who cannot find reasonably priced discrete GPUs, could consider the similarly performing Ryzen 5 5600G APU which has integrated RX Vega graphics that are around three times faster than Intel's UHD 730. ^{[Jan '22 CPUPro]}

The Intel Celeron G1850 is a budget dual-core processor for desktops. Released in the first half of 2014, this Haswell based version replaces Ivy Bridge Celeron processors such as the G1630 and are estimated to yield up to 10% improved performance. Hyperthreading technology and turbo boost are not activated but the base clock speed of 2.9 GHz enables a reasonable effective speed of 74. This may not be enough for power users but it's ample for home theatre PCs. The Intel HD Integrated Graphics are not powerful, but they are sufficient for playing 1080p movies. Further, the TDP of 53 Watts means that the G1850 is a low power, low heat and therefore low cost processor. Coupled with an SSD and a decent graphics card the G1850 will give a reasonable user experience. ^{[Nov '14 CPUPro]}
