Intel Core i3 12100F Processor

fast delivery, holds stable clocks, easy to cool, great for lightweight gaming and gpu inyensive games not so much cpu games.

Easily one of Intels best budget cpu of its time whilst not being on the toasty side. Can easily achieve excellent performance in many titles. Can run lots of games in high to medium graphics whilst offering smooth performance

For basic machines, I cannot fault how cheap and powerful this CPU is. Be careful if you don’t have a spare GPU as you probably don’t want to buy the F variant as this does not have on board graphics Great value for money for basic machines and basic gaming PC

I ended up with one of these in a roundabout way. My new-build PC kept having random bluescreens, and after ruling everything else out I concluded that my i5-12600K was faulty. So I bought an i3-12100F just to make sure, and ever since installing it my PC has worked fine. It's not often that a CPU breaks, but obviously it can happen. I've always avoided the i3 range - back when the i5-2500K was king they were poor value - but the i3-12100 is a surprisingly capable chip for something with only four cores. My Cinebench score is 1636 for single-core performance, vs 1862 for the i5-12600K, which isn't very much. I'm no good at maths, but the 12600K's single-core performance is slightly more than 10% faster for a chip that's more than twice as expensive. As a 6+4-core chip the 12600K absolutely hammers the 12100F at multi-core benchmarks (17573 vs 8345), but I don't encode much video and my favourite games are a few years old. The original Outer Worlds runs fine, as does XCOM 2 and the Enhanced Editions of the STALKER games. The 2020 version of Microsoft Flight Simulator runs decently well, but that was a performance hog. Total power consumption of the entire PC averages around 40w, which is nice, and the temperature with a decent fan in a mostly empty case varies from 28c to about 50c. At some point I'll probably upgrade, but given that we seem to be in the midst of a CPU shortage it's really good value for £70. Why four stars? The supplied heatsink has pushpins. I hate pushpins. Screws! Screws are good. Pushpins are bad.

Originally I had planned on buying an amd 5600 during the sales but I left it a day too late and all the amd alternatives had shot up in price. After some research I settled on getting this 12100f as integrated graphics were not something I desperately needed. At the price this is one of the cheaper processors you can get for a budget build and I purchased it for exactly that reason, as part of a budget build for my nephews Christmas. At the price the clock speed leaves very little to be desired and the included fan is surprisingly quiet when installed.

great fine

Usedfor pretty much media and gaming and I cannot fault this CPU, it's a mini beast.

It's fantastic for its price range for a beginner build and how it performs well for a budget CPU.

Fait bien le travail pourquoi il a été programmé

Oldukça iyi kendi küçük ama hızlı koşuyor, bana da hız lazımdı maratoncu işlemci, hesaplı bütçe.

É um bom processador para quem não é muito exigente, não quer gastar muito, mas quer se divertir bem e adquirir algo novo. Antes eu usava um i5 3570 juntamente com uma rx 550. Fiz o upgrade de processador, placa-mãe e memória ram e deu uma diferença perceptível nos meus jogos. Fiquei com medo de que o processador fosse usado, mas veio com lacre original. Eu comprei com a Amazon.com.br

J'ai récemment monté un PC gamer pour mon fils avec un processeur Intel Core i3-12100F et je dois dire que je suis absolument bluffé par ses performances ! Couplé à une carte graphique RTX 4060 Ti, ce combo s'est révélé être une machine de guerre inattendue. Franchement, nous avons été surpris de voir à quel point ce petit i3 gère bien les jeux. Mon fils peut jouer à tous les titres actuels sans aucun problème, même en réglages élevés. Le 12100F ne bronche pas, offrant une fluidité impeccable et des framerates stables. C'est la preuve qu'on n'a pas toujours besoin d'un i7 ou d'un i9 pour avoir une excellente expérience de jeu. Si vous cherchez à construire un PC gamer performant sans exploser votre budget, le i3-12100F est un excellent point de départ, surtout si vous le mariez à une carte graphique équilibrée comme la 4060 Ti. On est vraiment ravis de cet achat !

If you would be building pc just for gaming and slight editing or coding here and there this is perfect and the cost is really low considering what performance it gives, this CPU is by no means a low end CPU dont go gentle with that price the intel 12100f can easily handle GPUs upto gtx3060 or rx6800. Just go for it and say no to ryzen in this price for gaming.
