Cores
Cores	Four P-cores and no E-cores; Hyper-Threading supported.	Four cores with Hyper-Threading; eight simultaneous threads. PCStats confirms a locked CPU multiplier; base-clock overclocking is possible, so locked does not mean all overclocking is disabled.
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.	Intel's product brief gives up to 2.93 GHz single-core Turbo Boost. Intel's 17 November 2008 sale notice names the 920 and confirms immediate system and boxed retail availability.

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.	Three channels of DDR3-1066 in Intel's exact-model product brief. A later Intel comparison chart incorrectly lists two channels; the original product brief is used here.
PCIe
PCIe	PCIe 5.0 and 4.0; 20 CPU lanes, configured as 1×16+4 or 2×8+4; DMI 4.0 ×8.	Intel's product brief describes X58 chipset PCIe 2.0 graphics connectivity, including two ×16 links. These are chipset connections, not CPU-integrated PCIe lanes. CPU-to-chipset QuickPath Interconnect runs at 4.8 GT/s for the 920.
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.	45 nm; Nehalem architecture.
Cooler
Cooler	Boxed retail processor includes Intel Laminar RM1 (Intel support).	Requires an LGA1366/X58 platform; incompatible with LGA775 motherboards. Intel's retired specification page could not be read, so optional package temperature and separate maximum-power values are omitted.
