Performance-cores are high-performance cores capable of simultaneously executing up to two computation threads. Supports DDR5 standard and PCI Express 5.0 interface.
Performance-cores are high-performance cores capable of simultaneously executing up to two computation threads. Efficient-core — energy-efficient cores do not support Hyper-Threading and are designed to handle background workloads.

Younger representatives of the Core i3 family, which were released in the 12th generation of Intel processors under the code name Alder Lake. All chips from this series are manufactured in accordance with an updated technical process (10 nm) and support work exclusively with Intel motherboards with a Socket 1700 processor socket. Another key difference from the 10th and 11th generations of Core i3 is support for fast next-generation DDR5 RAM.

Moreover, unlike the Ryzen 7000 processors, which have completely switched to DDR5, the Core i3 Alder Lake chips also support the previous DDR4 standard, which significantly simplifies the assembly and design of the system with an eye to a future upgrade. The maximum supported clock speed of DDR5 is 4800 MHz, while DDR4 is limited to 3200 MHz. The maximum amount of RAM in both cases is 128 GB.

The entire Core i3 Alder Lake family is made according to the usual scheme of recent years: 4 performance-class physical cores with support for turbo boost and Hyper-Threading multi-threading technology, due to which 4 virtual cores are added to 4 physical cores. In normal mode, all chips operate at a frequency of 3.3 GHz, and if necessary, they can be overclocked to 4.3 GHz.

This dynamic load balancing ensures an optimal balance between system performance, noise, heat and power consumption. The volume of L3 cache memory is traditionally somewhat limited for the Core i3 series. In this case, its volume is 12 MB. The maximum heat dissipation level for the entire line does not exceed 89 W, so a stock cooler (if included) or the simplest entry-level fan will be sufficient for cooling, which makes this family an attractive option for installation in an entry-level gaming or work PC. As a bonus, the processor has an integrated graphics subsystem Intel HD Graphics 730, which in the case of budget and office assemblies eliminates the need to buy additional video cards. The GPU is integrated into all chips in the series except for models with the F suffix at the end of the name.

Intel Core i3-12100 Alder Lake LGA 1700 12MB Smart Cache Processor BX8071512100

Intel Core i3-12100 Alder Lake LGA 1700 12MB Smart Cache Processor Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT... more-d) continues from the existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium processor (VT-i) virtualization adding new support for I/O-device virtualization. Intel VT-d can help end users improve security and reliability of the systems and also improve performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments. Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple virtual platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. Intel 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software.¹ Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory. Intel Clear Video HD Technology, like its predecessor, Intel Clear Video Technology, is a suite of image decode and processing technologies built into the integrated processor graphics that improve video playback, delivering cleaner, sharper images, more natural, accurate, and vivid colors, and a clear and stable video picture. Intel Clear Video HD Technology adds video quality enhancements for richer color and more realistic skin tones. 12th gen Intel Core i3 Processor Generation 12MB Processor Cache 8 Processor Threads 4.3 GHz Processor Boost Frequency DMI4 Bus Type 60 W Processor Base Power Idle States Idle States (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operational state, meaning that the CPU is doing useful work. C1 is the first idle state, C2 the second, and so on, where more power saving actions are taken for numerically higher C-states. Intel Turbo Boost Technology Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it, and increased energy efficiency when you dont. Max Turbo Frequency Max Turbo Frequency is the maximum single-core frequency at which the processor is capable of operating using Intel Turbo Boost Technology and, if present, Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and Intel Thermal Velocity Boost. Frequency is typically measured in gigahertz (GHz), or billion cycles per second.
