Intel Core i3-12100 Review

This seems like the perfect opportunity to check how they stack up against some of the other affordable processors on the market, as well as some of the previous i3s to show how far things have come. We’ll include a smattering of old results in our graphs wherever possible, especially as those of you who are looking to update your system with processors such as these might not have upgraded for a while. In keeping with the affordable ethos of the 12th Gen Core i3s we’re running on the B660 chipset. This might not make for a direct comparison with many of the other chipsets we’ve reviewed processors on, but it’s a good demonstration of where Intel are now when compared to where the Core i3 was a while ago, and indeed how the 4C8T nature of the new Core i3s matches to the old Core i5s that had that arrangement.

The Intel 12th Gen Core i3-12100 Alder Lake processor has 03 years warranty (no warranty for fan or cooler).
