Great processor for office, home, school if you're not gaming or doing production work. for that I give it 5 stars. However, there's guys on YouTube saying this is good for gaming but It's marginal at best. This is basically a traditional I7 like 2nd gen to 7th gen with 4 cores and hyper threading. The core frequency is holding this back, as the all core is only 4.1ghz. Intel doesn't advertise the all core so you subtract 200mhz from the turbo. So you have the 12100, 13100, and 14100. The later having enough frequency for gaming. It turbos to 4.7ghz and the all core should be 4.5. Also don't buy the 12400 because the frequency is only 100mhz faster. The 13400 is a cut down 12600k and costs more. I say get the 12600k. You have all the cores and frequency out of the box, even if you put it on a B660 or B760 motherboard. In fact I want to buy one on black Friday if the price is right. I remember the price last year so hopefully it will be the same or lower.

Awesome value CPU with great single core performance, if you're not playing games released in the past 4~ years, the dispersion of load between threads and cores will probably not be great, and this CPU *shines*. Under full load the stock cooler can handle the CPU just fine and quiet, and the CPU's speed and performance will leave no complaint. Unless you're putting it *way* too far out of its comfort zone in a 1080p Cyberpunk situation, you'll likely forget you have an I-3.I had this CPU for two years, and a year ago purchased and upgraded to an I-5 13600K, even so looking back I think that the Intel I-3 12100 CPU was great in value and single core performance, I would *happily* use it again for what it is.If you're on a budget and want something that will have better sparring chances with recent modern games, I'd recommend shelling out just a bit more money for the I-5 12400 for some more cores/threads, or maybe look to AMD Ryzen, but this will do just fine in fair realistic cases.

Es ideal para cuando tienes poco presupuesto, tiene buena potencia y para las cosas y juegos básicos

Tengo un i7-10700K. En Single-Core gana al 10700k (Estoy flipao). En Aida64 en el apartado memorias funciona igual que el 10700k a 50000 MB mas o menos con memorias 12-100 3600mhz y i7-10700k 3900Mhz. En ciertas pruebas de Aida64 gana el 12100, y en las que demanda mas cpu los 8 cores del 10700K se imponen. Pero que este chiquitín le plante cara a mi 10700K no está nada mal. Y todo un Mini-PC que me salió por 380€.Para mucha gente este micro es mas que suficiente. Tiene potencia.
