IntelIntel® Coreâ„¢ 12th Gen i3-12100F desktop processor, featuring PCIe Gen 5.0 & 4.0 support, DDR5 and DDR4 support. Discrete graphics required.

The little engine that could and that can.

I loved the i3-12100f because it is very cheap, but performs and likely wont bottleneck any of your GPUs (Unless your using a 4090 or sum). I saw fps numbers well above the hundred mark when playing many triple A titles, and it can go over 2 to even 3 hundred fps on esport titles. I paired it with a 6650xt

My last I3 was the gen 9, so jumping to 12 and seeing that its a PINLESS CPU (pins are on the motherboard) was a big surprise and a bit of a relief. Overall I am damned happy with the upgrade, its not a top end gaming PC but its more than enough. I don't do competitive FPS games, RTX lighting is obnoxious as well as motion blur - basically purty graphics and good performance is what matters.That said the one complaint I do have falls on Amazon. You'd think that a processor would be packaged in a box with some protective wrapping right? Nope. Paper bag with no bubble wrap that also arrived torn. The fact that the RAM didn't fall out the hole and that the CPU works fine is a relief.

Ya lo tengo desde hace un año y sin duda es el mejor procesador Calidad-Precio, aunque solo tenga 8 hilos y 4 núcleos, este los aprovecha al máximo haciendolo rendir mejor que i5 de generaciones pasadas y a varios de la serie 5000 de Ryzen y puede soportar hasta gráficas hechas para jugar a 1440p como la 3070ti o la 6700xt

Olha, a velocidade me surpreendeu! Pensei que o Clock seria baixo, mais ele faz o over sozinho, a frequência sobe para 4.3, e um ótimo processador pra quem quer trabalhar, ou jogar, vai funcionar para o dois! Se você tiver memória e um boa placa de vídeo.

it’s really performing really good for me, the only thing im not satisfied with is the stock cooler that comes with it which is ugly and not performing good for some reason?the cooler comes with thermal paste pre-applied on it and installed it was a little harder than i thought but i managed to do it anywaythe temps reaching 89c is so weird considering this CPU was only pulling 30w! i made sure i tightened the cooler in correctly… i don’t know if its the airflow (the case is 3000d which should have good airlfow) or its the LGA1700 CPUs bending issue… i will buy another cooler beefy cooler in the few next few days (edit, i have bought the peerless assassin 120 white and the temps have drastically dropped only 60c max!)other than that this is a really nice cpu would recommend if you’re on a budget! make sure you have a GPU since this CPU does not have integrated graphics!
