The Intel Core i3-12100F is a 4-core, 8-thread desktop processor based on the Alder Lake microarchitecture, released in 2022.

The Intel Core i3-12100F is a 4-core, 8-thread desktop processor based on the Alder Lake microarchitecture, released in 2022. It features 4 P-cores and no E-cores, with a base clock of 3.3 GHz and a boost clock of 4.3 GHz. The processor includes 5 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of L3 cache, built on a 7 nm process node. It has a TDP of 58 W and a max turbo power of 89 W. The i3-12100F supports up to DDR5 4800 MT/s or DDR4 3200 MT/s memory across two channels, but does not support ECC memory. It lacks integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU. The processor provides 20 PCIe lanes with support for PCIe 5.0 and 4.0. It is compatible with the FCLGA1700 socket and supports instruction sets including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX2. The multiplier is not unlocked, limiting overclocking. The launch MSRP was $107 USD.
