Cores
Cores	Four P-cores and no E-cores; Hyper-Threading supported.	Four cores with Hyper-Threading; Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 supported. The current maker page lists Transactional Synchronization Extensions as unsupported, superseding early review specifications.
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; overclocking requires an appropriate motherboard and cooling. 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 32 GB; two channels; DDR3-1333/1600 or DDR3L-1333/1600 at 1.5 V, as listed by Intel; 25.6 GB/s maximum bandwidth; ECC not supported.
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.	22 nm; Devil's Canyon, a Haswell refresh; 37.5 × 37.5 mm package; 74.04°C Tcase limit, not a junction-temperature limit. New polymer thermal interface and additional capacitors, described in Intel's Computex launch coverage and the exact-model reviews.
Cooler
Cooler	Boxed retail processor includes Intel Laminar RM1 (Intel support).	Intel lists both ordinary boxed and explicitly fanless boxed SKUs; cooler contents should be checked for the particular package. Compatible Intel 8- and 9-series chipsets require the appropriate motherboard BIOS. Intel's June 2014 fact sheet confirms volume availability that month; the announcement itself is not used as the on-sale day.
