i3-13100 vs 12100 vs i5-12400 /13th Gen issues?

QuickToThePointless on 02/11/2024 - 14:02

Looking at new PC build/upgrade for TV browsing/youtube and plex server.

Want to go as cheap as possible - 13100 at $150 is this but have read about major issues with 13/14th gen CPU's - can anyone confirm the lower end models are immune to these issues?

12400 at $200 seems good bang for buck sweet spot but is it too much overkill for pretty basic needs?

Already have Optiplex 7060 i5-8500 as office PC - but ruling that out as I need space for the 5x3.5 HDDs that I fit in my existing case, Antec Fusion Remote

Cheers, and have a great day!

    Go 12th Gen just to be safe and it’s only for a media server so it’ll do it well.

      thats my thoughts but just wanted to see if anyone actually definitvely knew if 13100 did not have issues

        I had a 13900K I think it was an it had the issue. I went down to a 12th Gen. I’ve still got the 13th Gen RMA in the box that hasn’t been opened.

    Why not go i3-12100 if you're worried about 13th gen and think i5 is overkill?

    13100 is H0 stepping silicon. Exactly the same as a 12100, other than slightly increased default clocks (effectively just renamed the same silicon and bumped up the clockspeed). It was only the higher end models including i5-XX600K, all i7-XX700 and all i9-XX900 at launch that actually used different (Raptor Lake) silicon in the 13th and 14th Gen compared to 12th Gen (Alder Lake).

    Therefore, chips like the i3-13100, i3-14100 and many lower end 13000 &14000 series i5s are effectively renamed 12th Gen Chips that should be unaffected by the issues encountered by the Raptor Lake 13th and 14th Gen CPUs.

    All i3s through to the 14th Gen 14100 seem to continue to use H0 Alder Lake 12th Gen Silicon, however it appears that Intel more recently started to use cut down Raptor Lake B0 silicon to cover some of the lower end i5 13th and 14th Gen CPU models (instead of solely using Alder Lake silicon)
