Intel Core i3-12100F (CM8071504651013)

The Intel Core i3-12100F (CM8071504651013) is an entry-level processor from the Alder Lake lineup, designed for desktop computers with the LGA1700 socket. It features 4 performance cores without efficiency cores, providing a straightforward yet capable architecture suitable for most everyday tasks. Support for Hyper-Threading technology enables simultaneous processing of up to 8 threads, delivering solid multitasking performance. The base clock frequency is 3.3 GHz with the ability to automatically increase to 4.3 GHz thanks to Turbo Boost technology. The processor supports DDR4 memory up to 3200 MT/s and DDR5 up to 4800 MT/s in dual-channel mode, offering flexible configuration options and sufficient bandwidth. Level 3 cache memory is 12 MB, with Level 2 cache at 5 MB, positively impacting system responsiveness when running resource-intensive applications. Since this processor lacks integrated graphics, a discrete graphics card is required for system operation. The standard thermal design power is 58 W and can reach up to 89 W under full load, allowing use with compact cooling solutions. Compatibility with Intel 600 and 700 series chipsets expands motherboard selection options with an updated BIOS. The processor supports key Intel technologies including Virtualization VT-x and VT-d, as well as the SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX2 instruction sets, making it suitable for office work, educational purposes, and entry-level gaming systems.
