Hello, I was looking at pricing up a decent budget machine and its currently a toss up between these 2.
With the slight price differences between viable motherboards the total cost is very similar, and in the case of the i3 I would be going for a DDR4 version mobo as the price of DDR5 just isn't viable.
Mostly gaming, with some general desktop usage thrown in
So what do we think?
11400 has the core count advantage but the 12100 is faster core for core and offers a couple newer features
I think I'm leaning 11400 just because I'm worried the quad core might hold me back in future games.
