Budget 4 Core Showdown - i3-8100 Vs. Ryzen 2200G Vs. Ryzen 3 1200

2018-06-11
so picture this you just got out of jail and you've got the appropriate threads and attire to match and you've got a hundred dollars in your wallet or in the case of the a380 100 you might open 115 and your wallet and you're thinking which for course should I buy so today we're gonna be testing the rise in 2200 G versus the rising 3 1200 and then compare that against the i3 8100 all its stock settings out of the box with their included stock coolers because if you're probably getting into the market on a budget you probably want to know which is the best four core that you could put in a system and then not have to worry about changing any settings and getting some good performance in games also on top of that I'm going to be testing it with a gtx 1060 which pairs up really nicely in terms of price performance with these four core CPUs so let's take a look welcome back to tell us city in the first benchmark I'm going to pull off for you guys is the fire strike benchmark this one's probably the most important it does paint the general picture of the results that you're going to see here today but you can see with that fire strike physics core i3 80-100 did come on top scoring close to 8,000 points followed by the 2200 g scoring over 7,000 points and then the rise of 3 1200 just came shy of that score the graphics card scores were all pretty similar across the board and same with the combined scores but moving over to far cry 5 first game were pulling up here a 380 100 did score the victory was 68 average FPS some reason the Rison 3 1200 in this game did edge out the 2200 G by 1 FPS and this was a little bit weird since the four cores on the rise and 3 1200 is clocked lower especially out of the box as opposed to the 2200 G but the 2300 G does have less available cash onboard CPU which is a utilize for gaming in this case I believe this might be the game where it just Falls a little bit shy because of that but moving over to project cars to 1080p high settings and we see here across the board that these three CPUs really scored similar not just in average FPS but also 1% and point one percent lows and there is a little bit of variance in this benchmark to begin with because it doesn't have an inbuilt benchmark and of course the cars will behave differently since they drive in different ways every time you run the benchmark and move over to the witcher 3 1080p high settings across the board we scored 60fps except with the risin 320 200 G this did score 59 FPS and coming in also with a lower 1% low 0.1% lows however were pretty much even across the board and I did run a few Mensch marks on pretty much the same scene so this was as close to apples-to-apples as you're going to get with these benchmarks so as we're that the Verizon 2200 G was falling a little bit behind especially in this title and even far cry 5 even though it was just a little bit it was still a difference because I do test multiple times but move over to Assassin's Creed origins this is a game where it really tanked for the 20200 g45 average FPS and then we compare that to the Rison 3 1200 that scored 52 fps the i3 8100 did fit a lot better in this game scoring 60 average FPS a the 0.1% lows were actually the best however on the 2200 G it's probably just variance this is a console port so again that optimization is not entirely the best for PC the 1% loads however were pretty similar across the board so they're generally the numbers that you want to look at when it comes to stuttering 0.1% lows again is like that worst of worst of worst outside of three standard deviations aka and anomaly so now we just finished up with those heavy games that really stress the CPU but also stress the GPU as well what about some competitive multiplayer titles will see us go is one of the first games that comes to mind and here we saw the i3 8100 was scoring a little victory over the 2200 G which then scored quite a sizable victory over the Rison 3 1200 so if you're into playing csgo and you're going to buy either of these three CPUs I wouldn't go with the rising 3 1200 unless you knew how to overclock it then you could get some more performance out of it but out of the box 2200 G or of course the i3 8100 would be your best bet to go with moving over to dota 2 however this was a similar story yet again the i3 8100 coming out on top and then followed by the 2200 G quite closely and then the Verizon 3 1200 actually falling again quite a bit behind so also in these games you will want to have pretty high FPS due to the competitive nature of dota 2 and csgo and even games like fortnight and pub G but the last benchmarking to throw off for you guys is the Cinebench r15 score and the results really kind of scaled especially in these competitive games to the Cinebench score itself I 380 100 scoring close to 600 points Verizon 2,200 G scoring in the mid 500s and then the horizon 3 1200 scoring about 480 points there single-threaded performance was a little bit weird 123 and then the 2200 G's scoring 126 I 380 100 scoring close to 150 so now comes down to in my opinion the most important part of a product and that is the price and you've got the I 380 100 coming and around about 15 to 20 dollars more expensive then the risin 312 hundred and risin 320 200 G which are both priced similar with just under a hundred dollars at the moment on amazon.com so between the two rides and CPUs first of all which should you choose my opinion I would go with the 2200 G does have that GPU portion on board which performs similar to a GT 1030 and that's included for nothing really it's also clocked higher out of the box than the Rison 3 1200 so if you aren't into overclocking then you would be best off going with the 2200 G in my opinion and some of those heavier tiles like Far Cry 5 it only fell behind by 1 FPS but when it comes to the competitive multiplayer titles the 2200 G did beat the horizon 3 1200 by quite a lot so that would be my pick however the problem with the 2200 years so you have to make sure that your motherboard is 200 series compatible if it's not you may have some problems out of the box the i3 8100 however you can couple that with a cheap h3 10 motherboard just like you could couple the rise and three with a budget a 320 motherboard and you're good to go in terms of playing games however I will say one thing if you are on the rise inside of things you might want to go for a be 350 motherboard which does have a lot more upgrade ability than an a320 for example you can put in an 8 core 16 thread on that motherboard in the future and you've got a great upgrade path as opposed to the Intel side of things if you want to upgrade you generally want to get a z3 70 motherboard with a better vrm onboard and then you put in a 6 quart 12 threaded 8700 k although all these options are more expensive so as it stands the i3 8100 it does perform the best in these benchmarks it is the better gaming CPU in my opinion however it does cost a little bit more also with all three CPUs you do get an included cooler - so you don't have to go out and buy an additional cooler to get good value out of these 3 4 core CPUs and if you want to see how they compare against an 8700 K then I rest we tested the i3 8,100 burst the 8700 k with the same gtx 1060 and it performed pretty well anyway guys hope you enjoyed today's video if you didn't be sure to hit that like button and i'll catch you in another tech video very soon also let us know in the comments section below which of these four cores would you pick and why love reading those opinions as always I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
