Gaming is more accessible with the i3-12100F: Intel’s entry level Alder Lake desktop processor. Higher end Alder Lake processors feature a combination of performance and efficiency cores, however, the 12100F contains just four hyper-threaded Golden Cove performance cores. It has a max boost frequency of 4.3 GHz, 12 MB of L3 cache and a 58W TDP. The 12100F is keenly priced at around $130 USD and needs to be paired with a new chipset such as the B660. Only users with discrete GPUs should consider “F” models as they do not have integrated graphics. Whilst a budget PC built around the 12100F represents unbeatable value for money, the 6-core i5-12400F, with 50% stronger multi-core, is a better option for gamers with 3060+ tier GPUs. AMD do not have any CPUs competing in this price segment. Entry level gamers, who cannot find reasonably priced discrete GPUs, could consider the similarly performing Ryzen 5 5600G APU which has integrated RX Vega graphics that are around three times faster than Intel's UHD 730. ^{[Jan '22 CPUPro]}

Pretty good laptop CPU. Runs less hotter than the Zen2 5500U, performs a little bit better. I believe there was a huge difference made in the iGPU though, you could run CS:GO on it at like 200 fps (the game IS cpu-bound but this is saying something) with few stutters IF the laptop/AIO that it is in has dual channel RAM @3000+ mHz. This CPU is getting a little bit dated though considering the launches of Intel's Alder Lake and some 11th gen laptop CPUs which tend to hunger less for good memory and have a nearly as capable iGPU. Ignoring Intel for now, it is a good CPU for going on the web and playing some light games - or games that have a GTX 1050 in their minimum requirements. You could even do some rendering with its core count and cache if your laptop doesn't go up to 92C, unfortunately that is a gaurantee on today's laptops. ^{[Apr '22 Waaaaaal]}
