Intel Core i3 14100F CPU Review

Google Octane 2.0

Octane 2.0 is a benchmark that measures a JavaScript engine’s performance by running a suite of tests representative of certain use cases in JavaScript applications.

Google Octane now on Google Developers.

In Google Octane the Intel CPU managed to outperform all three of the ryzen 5000 series CPUs that we compared it against, but with that said, the 12100F did also manage to achieve this, albeit by a slightly smaller margin and the 12100F and the 14100 were only separated by 1%. Unfortunately for the 14100, the 13100F actually managed to perform better, with a 4% lead over the newer CPU, which of course is pretty damning for the value proposition.

Mozilla Kraken 1.1

Kraken is a JavaScript performance benchmark created by Mozilla that measures the speed of several different test cases extracted from real-world applications and libraries.

Switching over to Mozilla Kraken, things are kind of all over the place, when we compare the 14100 to its predecessors though we see that the 14th gen processor is the better option of the three, with a 4% increase over the 13100F and a 11% increase over the 12100F, bizarrely the 14100 also performs better than the 14400F by 1% and the 13400F by 0.2 milliseconds, but I guess that is what you would expect, with this test being measured in milliseconds and the duration of the test being extremely short, you could expect this kind of thing to happen with the results.

WebXPRT 4

WebXPRT 4 is a browser benchmark that compares the performance of almost any web-enabled device. It contains HTML5, JavaScript, and WebAssembly-based scenarios created to mirror the tasks you do every day: Photo Enhancement, Organize Album Using AI, Stock Option Pricing, Encrypt Notes and OCR Scan using WASM, Sales Graphs, and Online Homework. Use WebXPRT to see exactly how well different devices handle real-world tasks.

Next is WebXPRT where the 14100 once again proves that, even if marginal, it is the best performing of the 100 series Intel CPUs, with 4% more performance than the 12100F and a tiny 1-point increase over the 13100F, these increases aren’t anything to get too excited about though, and with such small numbers it’s easy to put it down to margin of error, and with some retests we could easily see some shifts in the chart as some scores increase and some decrease.
