It is pretty Fast Easy to use Good gaming performance

- Better then 9950X in production - Fast in gaming beating i9 14900K

I needed a Windows 11 compatible machine. So, I decided to go Intel. I purchased this processor for my ASUS Prime Z690-P MOBO. I am very pleased with the final build. I am not a gamer and I don't OC so I can't address performance data. 5-Stars


It's incredible fast and multi-thread is fantastic. I am able to play demanding FPSs at high frame rates while having TV in the other monitor... Awesome! A better cooler is recommended but is not super hot when running at max capacity.

- This chip is freaking fast! It boosts between 5.5 and 5.7GHz in pretty much every game I throw at it. -Temps are not as bad as I thought they would be. Average is 55-65C while gaming and around 80-85C under full load.

-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.
