What is a dealbreaker, though, is pricing of the Core i3-10320. With $160, it is expensive, $40 more than the Ryzen 3 3300X. If you have a discrete graphics card, the 3300X is the better price/performance option. If you're focused on gaming with a GPU, I'd recommend the Core i5-10400F for the same price because it has more cores and threads, resulting in higher performance in both applications and games. Another alternative is the Core i3-10100, which is $30 cheaper, but only 5–6 % slower in apps and games. I could definitely see how people would be willing to spend an extra $10 for slightly higher performance with just the Core i3-10300 and i3-10320 in a vacuum, even if you just get $5 of your money back mathematically. The balance of power in this market segment will definitely shift if Intel can bring the price of their entire Core i3 lineup down by $30 or so and affordable B460/H410 motherboards don't disappoint because most Intel CPUs have something most Ryzens lack: integrated graphics good enough for desktop work, productivity, and Internet browsing.
