    small but strong!

    The performance is good for my wife's small gamer configuration.
    The ventirad does its job (it doesn't heat up, so it's fine).

    Very surprised!

    *very surprised at the speed of the i3-12100, it's replacing an old pc (i5 3570K) that's just used to broadcast video. it boots up very quickly and the videos are of course impeccable, with an 8GB msi pro B660-G and an old gtx 970.
    It's perfect for small applications.
    And as usual fast shipping from LDLC,

    Excellent processor

    Having been able to test often enough the difference between AMD and Intel, (of equivalent range) for me, there is no need to debate, my choice will remain on Intel! Fast, multi-tasking, it does not falter at any time! Just perfect !

    Perfect

    I would use this processor again for games only of course, but beware it runs very large graphics cards like a 6900xt without Bottleneck.
    Best quality/performance/price ratio, as powerful as a 9600k in games, it's crazy!
