Intel’s four-core eight-thread Core i3-12100 comes with a highly competitive £129 price tag that easily helps us brand this as the best budget CPU of 2022 so far. Not to mention that the chip also comes in the option of a £99 F-series with deactivated graphics. Ever since AMD’s Ryzen 3300X arrived in 2020 the sub-£200 processor market has been left lackluster at best. AMD’s cheapest Zen-3 CPU is the £230 Ryzen 5600G and at almost twice the price certainly struggles to fend off this Intel pocket rocket.
