The Intel Core i3 12100 processor delivers powerful performance with 4 cores and 8 threads. Its base frequency of 3.3 GHz and boost frequency of 4.3 GHz ensure a smooth experience for multitasking and demanding applications.
Intel® Virtualization Technology for Distributed I/O (VT-d)
Intel® Virtualization Technology for Distributed I/O (VT-d) extends existing support for Intel® Virtualization Technology for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium® (VT-i) by adding new support for virtualizing I/O devices. Intel® VT Virtualization Technology for Distributed I/O can help users improve the security and reliability of their systems, as well as the performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments.
Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)
Intel® VT Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows a hardware platform to be split into multiple virtual platforms. It enhances the ease of managing the fleet, minimizing service interruptions and preventing the resulting productivity losses by isolating the relevant operations on a dedicated partition.
Intel® 64
The Intel® 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on servers, workstations, PCs, and mobile devices when the platform is combined with compatible software.¹ The Intel® 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to overcome the 4 GB barrier for addressing virtual and physical memory.
Intel® Clear Video HD Technology
Intel® Clear Video HD Technology, like its predecessor Intel® Clear Video, is a suite of image decoding and processing technologies included in integrated graphics processors. It improves video playback by delivering a cleaner, sharper image, more natural, vibrant, and accurate colors, and increased image stability. Intel® Clear Video HD Technology enhances video quality with richer colors and more realistic skin tones.
Cache
The processor cache is a high-speed memory area located on the processor. Intel® Smart Cache refers to the architecture that allows all cores to dynamically share access to the last-level cache.
New Intel® AES Instructions
With the new AES-NI (Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions), data encryption and decryption are fast and secure. AES-NI instructions are useful for a wide range of cryptographic applications, such as block ciphers/decryptions, authentication, random number generation, and authenticated encryption.
Idle States
Idle states, or "C" states, are used to conserve power when the processor is idle. C0 corresponds to the operating state, when the processor is actively performing useful tasks. C1 is the first idle state, C2 the second, and so on. The higher the C state number, the more power-saving measures are implemented.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor frequency as needed, utilizing thermal and electrical headroom to provide extra speed when required and improved energy efficiency when not.
Max Turbo Frequency
The maximum Turbo Frequency is the highest single-core frequency at which the processor can operate using Intel® Turbo Boost Technology and, if present, Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0 and Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost Technology. Frequency is usually measured in gigahertz (GHz) or billions of cycles per second.
Lock Bit
The lock bit is a hardware security feature that reduces exposure to viruses and malicious code attacks and prevents harmful software from running and spreading on the server or network.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology provides two execution units per physical core. Multi-process applications can handle more work in parallel and thus complete tasks faster.
Instruction Set
The instruction set refers to the set of basic commands and instructions that a microprocessor understands and can execute. The value shown represents the Intel® instruction set with which this processor is compatible.
Intel® Quick Sync Video Technology
Intel® Quick Sync Video Technology enables fast video conversion for portable media players, online sharing, and video production and editing.
