I’m searching for a 4-core, 8-thread CPU with at least 8 cores, priced under $150 in the US. I see options like the Ryzen 3 3100 at $140 and the Ryzen 7 2700X at $140. I’m open to AMD or Intel models. Let me know if you can assist. Thanks!

3300x 10400f 10100/f 3100 2600 specs available. With 8 cores, you can reach 2700x at $140. It's a solid deal.

The 2700x doesn't perform well due to its Zen+ architecture, so I'd recommend the Ryzen 3 3300x instead.
