There's a lot of discussion of the details in this thread but I don't want people to miss the big picture: No one should buy Intel processors under any circumstances. All Intel processors suck now. Maybe that will change in the future, but if you're buying anything today, buy AMD.

What AMD CPU beats an i3-13100 in price/performance?

OK, you got me there. The 13100 is actually a great value.

What person buying an i3 cares about performance?

No one should buy Intel processors under any circumstances.

AMD have their problems too.

Nobody likes to talk about the insane NPS configuration or the models where some cores have good L3 cache and some don't. These cause real problems which are very difficult to diagnose. I know this because I'm the one solving them for customers. Good luck if you're running a workload affected by the CVE solved in the latest Zen 3/4 microcode update, goodbye HPC cluster investment.
