Outdated Product
A junior processor in the 12th generation of Intel processors, codenamed Alder Lake. Featuring four performance cores that support multi-threading and automatic overclocking, this processor ensures an optimal balance between system performance, noise, heat and power consumption. The existing cores normally operate at a frequency of 3.3 GHz, and if there is a lack of computing power, they are automatically overclocked to 4.3 GHz. The stock cooler is more than enough to cool them, and the standard heat dissipation level is only 60 W, which makes it a very interesting option for an entry-level work or gaming computer based on Intel system logic. The Core i3 Alder Lake is produced using a new 10nm process technology and is designed for installation in a motherboard with a Socket 1700 connec...tor. Unlike its predecessors in the Core i3 series, the 12th generation chips have learned to work with both the usual DDR4 RAM and the new DDR5 class memory. The maximum clock frequency for DDR4 is 3200 MHz, for DDR5 - 4800 MHz. The maximum memory capacity is 128 GB.

Junior members of the Alder Lake family

The Core i3-12100F is the entry-level model in the 12th generation of Intel Core processors (Alder Lake architecture). It is manufactured on the basis of an optimized 10nm process technology, equipped with 4 physical cores (+4 virtual ones), which run at a frequency of 3.3 GHz, and when the load on the CPU increases, they can automatically increase the frequency to 4.3 GHz using Turbo Boost technology. In general, this is not at all the frail Core i3 that we saw literally 3 generations ago.

Multi-threaded processing and turbo boost up to 4.3 GHz

Thanks to the fact that Intel has stopped being greedy and slowing down progress, the new generations of Core i3 look modern and fully claim the role of entry-level gaming processors. The hero of our review, the Core i3-12100F, has a high IPC (number of instructions executed per clock), supports multi-threaded processing of information and can automatically overclock, and its performance in games, plus or minus, corresponds to the Core i7 models from three years ago.

Without built-in video core and cooler

As a rule, the bottleneck that limits the amount of FPS in games is usually the video card, so for entry-level gaming PCs it makes more sense to choose the Core i3-12100F rather than the more expensive Core i5-12400F, and invest the money saved in the video card. Moreover, at the end of 2022, prices began to slowly bounce back and for the sake of the conditional RTX 3070, you no longer need to sell your grandfathers moped. The only caveat is that this model with the F index does not have a built-in video core, so if you were looking for a similar option for an inexpensive working PC, then it’s better to take a regular Core i3-12100 with built-in UHD Graphics 730.
