Intel released the Core i3-12100F processor :year_text, expanding its popular :family_text series. The hardware foundation of the die is based on 10 nm manufacturing norms, ensuring high transistor density. The compatible motherboards connector is supported. The die configuration includes 4 computing cores with support for 8 threads. The base clock speed is 3.3 GHz. In Turbo Boost mode, this indicator can reach 4.3 GHz. Thanks to 12 MB of L3 cache, latency when accessing RAM is reduced. The manufacturer indicates heat dissipation at 58 W in standard operating mode. When power limits are removed or during peak boost (PL2), the chip's appetite increases to 89 W. Regarding gaming performance, the chip provides a basic level of comfort. It's perfectly suited for casual games, online projects, or esports disciplines where extreme power isn't required.
