Intel Core i3-14100

Realistically speaking, motherboard manufacturers offered unofficial Zen 3 support for the 300 series. Suddenly, MSI released a BIOS update with Zen 3 support for all of their 300 models, followed immediately by the other manufacturers. AMD protested, but without much conviction due to the anger of the fans.
AMD's mess with Zen 3 (nothing released below 5600X and $300 for over a year, no 300 series support) should be taken as a wake-up call for their future policy if Intel goes away.

The 14100 is an interesting processor. I notice that in the comments a strong point owned by Intel is omitted: the exceptional hardware acceleration support offered by igp.
Yeah, I had a customer's B350 mITX board that had a beta BIOS offering support for the 5800X3D I dropped into it a couple of years ago.
Fantastic result, especially since the X3D chips aren't particularly sensitive to memory bandwidth and it was only running DDR4-2666.
 
Unfortunately, overclocking is impossible with that processor. Only the 3% with an Asus motherboard, Z chipset. Gigabyte and AsRock motherboards, Z chipset, do not offer this possibility, I don't know about MSI.
Stay with the good part that the processor consumes less current.
 
Its value would be good only if sold <€100 in Europe. Especially when the 5600(X) is sold for €110-120 atm while being definitely superior in speed and total platform cost.
it is infact under <€100 but only the i3 14100f
