Intel Core I5 12100/12100F Unboxing and Review! 4 cores with 6 cores performance!

Welcome back to Loki’s Tech.
Today I’m gonna review this core I3 12100F.
This one is the latest 12th gen core I3 from
intel.
Well, it’s slightly more expensive than older
gen.
This 12100F cost about 110 bucks if you bundle
with motherboard,
and cost around 115 bucks if you buy the processor
only.
If you compare to the older gen, like 10105F,
it’s about 20% more expensive.
Okay, let’s just unboxing this core I3 12100F,
and we see the performance compare to the
older gen.
As usual, I do simple test with CPU Z.
I compare the 12100F with previous core I3
10105F.
Core I3 12100F has massive 60% single thread
and 37% multi core performance improvement
in CPU Z benchmark compare to previous gen.
Now I test with cinebench R23.
The new 12100F draw about 20% less power compare
to the older 10105F.
Not only less power, its also almost 50% better
multi task performance than older gen.
If compare with my old 10400F, the 4 cores
12100F is slightly better.
Now let’s test the gaming performance.
I test with 1080P highest setting across the
game with RTX 3080 TI.
First game I test is far cry 5.
The new 12100F is

about 12% better than older
gen in this game.
Next game is cyberpunk 2077.
The performance gap is now is about 14% better
than 10105F.
A slightly better than far cry.
Next game is forza horizon 4.
In this game, 12100F is about 20% faster in
average than 10105F,
and have significant 35% better in 1% low.
Next is shadow of tomb raider.
In this game, 12100F is massive 25% better
than older 10105F.
The last game I test is Witcher 3.
In this game, 12100F is about 11% better than
10105F.
For more benchmark detail, you can check my
other channel, loki’s bench.
From the benchmark result, we know that this
12100F has significant performance improvement
compare to the older gen.
In multi task performance it’s massively almost
50% more performance improvement than the
older gen.
That cinebench score is even match with core
I5 10400F I reviewed last year.
In gaming performance, this core I3 12100F
also do significant improvement compare to
the older core I3 10105F.
Well, I already sold my core I5 10th gen last
year, so I cannot compare the performance
with the core I5 10th gen.
But in my other channel, I will upload the
performance comparison between this core I3
12th gen and also core I5 11th gen.
Now let’s talk about the pricing and budget
build.
This processor has really great value, even
though this processor has 20% more price increase
than the older gen.
The performance in multitask is significant
50% faster than the core I3 10105F.
With a cheap H610 motherboard which only cost
about 85 bucks,
or maybe the cheapest B660 motherboard which
only cost about 95 bucks like this Asrock
B660M HDV.
Since this processor consume less than 50W,
you don’t need to worry about the cooler also.
Stock cooler more than enough.
It’s even less than the older gen power consumption.
Compare to the competitor in AMD side, There
is not even a single processor in AMD product
that can match performance
per value compare to this core I3 12100F.
With only 200 bucks, you can get the best
budget performance for the latest gen,
and this processor is comparable with the
core I5 10th gen.
Okay, that’s all from me.
