Intel Core i3-12100F 12th Gen 3.30 GHz Desktop Processor

The Intel Core i3-12100F is a 12th Generation Intel Core desktop processor based on Intel’s Alder Lake platform. It combines 4 Performance cores with 8 processing threads to deliver efficient performance for everyday computing, office applications, multitasking, content consumption and entry-level gaming.

The processor operates at a 3.30 GHz base frequency and can reach up to 4.30 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. It features 12 MB of Intel Smart Cache and 5 MB of total L2 cache, providing fast access to frequently used data and instructions.

The i3-12100F supports both DDR4-3200 and DDR5-4800 memory, with up to 128 GB maximum memory capacity depending on the motherboard configuration. It uses the FCLGA1700 socket and supports PCI Express 5.0 and 4.0 for compatible expansion devices.

As an F-series processor, the Intel Core i3-12100F does not include integrated graphics. A dedicated graphics card is therefore required for systems that need display output.
