Intel Core i3-12100F Tray
The Intel Core i3-12100F Tray is a 12th Gen (Alder Lake) desktop processor with 4 performance cores and 8 threads, a 3.30 GHz base clock, up to 4.30 GHz turbo and 12 MB of Intel Smart Cache. It fits FCLGA1700 motherboards and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory.
It is a sensible choice for an entry-level gaming PC or a responsive everyday desktop, provided you pair it with a dedicated graphics card, since the F model has no integrated graphics. This is a tray CPU, so the cooler is sold separately. It is price on request: we confirm today's price by email, as explained in our Price on Request Policy.

Compatibility and related parts
You will need an LGA1700 board from our motherboards range; whether you use DDR4 or DDR5 depends on the board you choose, so match it with the right kit from our memory (RAM) collection. As a tray processor it ships without a cooler, so pick an LGA1700-compatible model from our CPU coolers, and add a graphics card because there is no integrated graphics. The PC builder checks compatibility for you, and parts bought as a PC build get free assembly and testing.
