CoresFour P-cores and no E-cores; Hyper-Threading supported.Four cores with Hyper-Threading; Intel Turbo Boost 2.0. Expert Reviews and TechRadar confirm the unlocked CPU multiplier.
ClocksCPU 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. Intel's 5 January launch notice gives 9 January availability for quad-core systems.

PCIePCIe 5.0 and 4.0; 20 CPU lanes, configured as 1×16+4 or 2×8+4; DMI 4.0 ×8.PCIe 2.0; 16 CPU lanes.
ProcessIntel 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.32 nm; Sandy Bridge; 37.5 × 37.5 mm package; 72.6°C maximum case temperature, not junction temperature.
CoolerBoxed retail processor includes Intel Laminar RM1 (Intel support).LGA1155 is incompatible with LGA1156. TechRadar describes the launch P67 chipset as supporting CPU overclocking and H67 as supporting the integrated graphics output; chipset choice affects available features. Intel publishes no separate maximum turbo-power figure.
