Verdict

The Intel Core i3-10105T is a 10th-generation Comet Lake Refresh desktop processor featuring 4 cores and 8 threads with a 3.00 GHz base frequency and up to 3.90 GHz max turbo clock. Built on a 14nm process for the LGA 1200 socket, it includes 6MB of Intel Smart Cache, supports DDR4-2666 memory, and features integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630. Its primary advantages are its low 35W TDP, making it ideal for energy-efficient or small form factor builds, and its inclusion of Hyper-Threading for improved multitasking in a budget-tier chip. However, its lower clock speeds compared to the standard i3-10105 and its reliance on the now-outdated LGA 1200 platform limit its long-term performance and upgrade potential.
