Gandiva Professional Series Desktop Computers (Intel Core i3 12th Gen 12100 Processor)

• Compared to the i3 of just a few generations ago, it's amazing how far these mid-entry-level CPUs have come. I upgraded my Plex server to a new motherboard and this i3-12100 and performance is excellent. Included CPU cooler isn't great but it's good enough. Great product, It's really worth the price.
• Intel's Core i3 12100F is a value champion CPU for gaming - and it's down to £88. Golden Cove cores and PCIe 5.0/DDR5 support are impressive at this price. Intel's Core i3 12100F is a surprisingly viable gaming CPU, with four Golden Cove P-cores and eight threads with DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.
• The processing speed of a CPU depends on several factors, such as the number of cores, the clock frequency, the cache size, and the architecture. Generally speaking, i5 and i7 CPUs have more cores, higher frequencies, and larger caches than i3 CPUs, which gives them an advantage in performance.
