Intel Core i3-12100F LGA 1700 Alder Lake Desktop Processor

Intel Core i7-12700 (Alder Lake)

• Cores/Threads: 12 (8P-cores + 4E-cores) / 20 threads
  (P-cores = Performance, E-cores = Efficient)
• Base Clock: 2.1 GHz (P-cores) / 1.6 GHz (E-cores)
• Max Turbo Boost: 4.9 GHz (P-cores) / 3.6 GHz (E-cores)
• TDP: 65W (PL1), boosts higher under load (PL2 ~180W)
• Socket: LGA 1700 (Compatible with 600/700-series motherboards)
• Cache: 25MB L3 (Smart Cache)
• Architecture: Hybrid (Alder Lake) – Combines P-cores + E-cores

• Memory Support: DDR4-3200 / DDR5-4800, PCIe 5.0 support

Key Notes:

• Performance: Strong for gaming/productivity, but turbo behavior depends on cooling.
• Power: Base TDP is 65W, but real-world usage can spike higher.
• Motherboard: Requires 600-series (e.g., B660, Z690) or 700-series (e.g., B760, Z790) chipset.
