It's incredibly fast for my use and multi-thread is fantastic. I can render videos, run applications in the background, and browse at the same time and see no drop in performance! A better cooler is recommended but is not critically hot when running at max capacity. Efficient at 65w TDP CPU fan included.

-Runs much cooler than previous x299 CPU iterations -Has much more overclocking headroom at lower voltages. -14 cores

This is replacing i7-3770S...and d### it, I hate to say it but this is light years ahead and better. That i7-3770S had put such a warm and loving place in my heart, I hate to see it go, but I needed Windows 11 and more performance....It was just that moment we hate to upgrade something that has been so dependable and never missed the job at hand, ...for over 10 years... but this little i3-12100 is just light years ahead of legacy technology and it's the passing of the torch.

i ordered this product to keep the price down on a new pc build for my client, this cpu is way more than they needed to do the job that they wanted, worked perfectly, over all cost for this pc was around $500.00 and he was very happy with the end results.


24 cores, lots of Cashe and but plan fast compaired to my 13900K Very happy pairing this up with a ROG MB.
