The very old, Arrandale based 2 core 4 thread mobile processor was one of the first gen mobile Core based CPU. While i3 M380 still holds decent for some basic task, the benchmark score shows that this processor may probably struggle to do modern tasks such as advanced word / spreadsheet processing, modern browsing and even more for gaming which makes this not worth using today for some users. [Feb '20 ColdSpy]

Intel’s Core i3-9100F is a quad-core 9th generation Coffee Lake desktop processor. It features base / boost clocks of 3.6 / 4.2 GHz, 6 MB of cache, a 65W TDP and it ships with a cooler. Gamers should pair the 9100F with a Z390 motherboard and unlock higher XMP RAM speeds. This will deliver up to a 15% fps boost which is well worth it considering that many Z390 boards are available for around $100 USD (here is one of the builds from our EFps test lab). The 9100F has great single core performance coupled with a strong memory sub system. This enables it to deliver excellent all round performance, easily holding its own against far pricier CPUs for the majority of use cases. The heavily hyped 12 threaded 6 core Ryzen 3600, paired with a 2060S, barely pulls ahead in any of the top five games. [Oct '19 CPUPro]
