Excellent entry level for making a basic gaming PC
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

Best cpu without hurting the bank
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

Good budget value processor
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, reliable, cheap
fast delivery, holds stable clocks, easy to cool, great for lightweight gaming and gpu inyensive games not so much cpu games.

A Surprisingly Capable Budget CPU
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.

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

Great budget build
Cant get any better at this price point on amazon. Beats the the cheaper ryzens out there.

J'ai récemment acheté le processeur Intel Core i3-12100F et je suis extrêmement satisfait de ses performances. Ce processeur quad-core offre une puissance impressionnante à un prix très abordable. Points forts : Performances solides : Pour les tâches quotidiennes, le multitâche et même les jeux, ce processeur fait un travail remarquable. J'ai pu jouer à des titres récents avec des paramètres graphiques élevés sans aucun problème. Efficacité énergétique : Le i3-12100F consomme peu d'énergie, ce qui est idéal pour un usage prolongé et pour maintenir des températures basses. Rapport qualité-prix : C'est probablement le meilleur processeur de sa gamme de prix. Il offre des performances qui rivalisent avec des processeurs plus chers. Installation facile : L'installation a été un jeu d'enfant. Le processeur est compatible avec de nombreuses cartes mères LGA 1700, et le manuel d'instructions est clair et précis. Points faibles : Pas de GPU intégré: Ce n'est pas vraiment un inconvénient pour moi car j'utilise une carte graphique dédiée, mais c'est quelque chose à prendre en compte si vous n'en avez pas. Si vous le voulez avec un compartiment graphique, prennez à la place un Intel core I3 12100 Ventirad inclus basique : Le ventilateur fourni fait son travail, mais il n'est pas très silencieux. Vous voudrez peut-être investir dans un meilleur système de refroidissement si vous cherchez à construire un PC silencieux. En conclusion, le Intel Core i3-12100F est un excellent choix pour ceux qui cherchent à construire un PC performant sans se ruiner. Que ce soit pour le jeu ou pour des tâches de création de contenu, il offre une puissance impressionnante qui ne décevra pas.

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
