Core i3-14100T

The Core i3-14100T is a 4-core / 8-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake-R (2023−2025) architecture, manufactured on a Intel 7 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 4.4 GHz from a base frequency of 2.7 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 12 MB (total) of L3 cache, plus 1.25 MB (per core) of L2 cache and 80 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 13,731, placing it in the Budget performance tier as a Recent generation product.

The Core i3-14100T fits into the LGA1700 socket and supports PCIe 5.0 with 20 total PCIe lanes for expansion cards and storage. It supports DDR5-4800, DDR4-3200 memory at speeds up to DDR5-4800 (faster RAM improves bandwidth-sensitive workloads), with a maximum capacity of 192 GB across 2 channels (dual-channel doubles bandwidth). It supports ECC memory, providing error-correcting capabilities — essential for mission-critical workloads and servers. Integrated graphics: UHD Graphics 730 — allows display output without a dedicated GPU, useful for troubleshooting and light tasks.

The Core i3-14100T is primarily designed for Desktop. Virtualization: VT-x, VT-d — enables running virtual machines efficiently (important for development and server workloads).

The Core i3-14100T has a rated TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 35 Watt — this indicates the amount of heat generated under sustained load and determines what cooling solution is needed.

At an average price of $135 (MSRP: $134), the Core i3-14100T delivers 102 PassMark points per dollar. Performance ranking position: #1087 out of all indexed processors.
