Cores
Cores	Four P-cores and no E-cores; Hyper-Threading supported.	Six cores without Hyper-Threading; Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 supported.
Clocks
Clocks	CPU multiplier locked (Intel support). Current Intel specifications list 110 W maximum turbo power; the January 2023 maker launch table and Tom's Hardware list 89 W. ComputerBase also reports 110 W.	Maximum turbo is a single-core frequency; sustained clocks depend on cooling and motherboard power settings. CPU, graphics and memory overclocking require a supported chipset. Intel publishes TDP without a separate maximum turbo-power figure.

Memory support
Memory support	Current Intel specifications support up to 192 GB; two channels; DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200; 76.8 GB/s maximum bandwidth. The January 2023 launch table lists 128 GB.	Up to 128 GB in the current Intel specifications; two channels; DDR4-2666; 41.6 GB/s maximum bandwidth; ECC not supported. The original eighth-generation product brief listed a 64 GB limit.
PCIe
PCIe	PCIe 5.0 and 4.0; 20 CPU lanes, configured as 1×16+4 or 2×8+4; DMI 4.0 ×8.	PCIe 3.0; 16 CPU lanes, configured as 1×16, 2×8 or 1×8+2×4.
Process
Process	Intel 7; marketed as Raptor Lake. ComputerBase identifies the H0 Alder Lake die used by the Core i3-12100F. 45 × 37.5 mm package; 100°C maximum junction temperature.	14 nm; Coffee Lake; 37.5 × 37.5 mm package; 100°C maximum junction temperature.
Cooler
Cooler	Boxed retail processor includes Intel Laminar RM1 (Intel support).	Boxed processor includes no fan or heatsink. Requires a supported Intel 300-series motherboard despite sharing the LGA1151 socket name with earlier processors.
