Cores
Cores	Four P-cores and no E-cores; Hyper-Threading supported.	Six cores with Hyper-Threading; twelve threads. Fully unlocked multiplier, confirmed by Intel's exact-model brief and the reviews. VT-d is supported only by C2 stepping according to Intel.
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.	Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.80 GHz. First-sale day comes from Legit Reviews' 14 November 2011 report of the exact boxed processor in stock at Newegg, cross-checked with Puget Systems' same-day launch coverage; Intel's specification page gives Q4 2011.

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.	Four channels of DDR3-1066/1333/1600; up to 51.2 GB/s, without ECC. Intel's later comparison chart incorrectly lists two channels; the original brief and current specification page both establish four.
PCIe
PCIe	PCIe 5.0 and 4.0; 20 CPU lanes, configured as 1×16+4 or 2×8+4; DMI 4.0 ×8.	40 PCIe 2.0 lanes according to Intel's specification page.
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.	32 nm; Sandy Bridge-E. Package measures 52.5 × 45.0 mm; Intel states a 66.8°C maximum case temperature, not a junction-temperature rating.
Cooler
Cooler	Boxed retail processor includes Intel Laminar RM1 (Intel support).	Intel explicitly says the boxed processor has no fan or heatsink. Requires an LGA2011-compatible cooler and motherboard; Intel's product brief names the X79 platform.
