Intel® Core™ i3-12100E

The Intel Core i3-12100E is a embedded processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Alder Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Jan 2022. Clocks run from 3.2 GHz base to 4.2 GHz boost. A 12-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR5, DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1700 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 60 W. Notable platform capabilities: Deep Learning Boost, AVX-VNNI, Extended Page Tables (EPT), AES-NI.

The Intel Core i3-12100E scores 3,312 in single-core performance and 13,599 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,711 for overall performance, 13,476 for productivity performance, 13,441 for creator performance, 13,089 for engineering performance and 13,336 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,400 per core, 1,700 per thread and 227 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 866. Its performance index is 83, so its overall performance is 17% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i3-12100E scores 38,551 in integer math, 30,459 in floating-point math, 152,246 in compression, 7,721 in cryptography, 1,127 in physics simulation, 10,395 in vector SIMD, 60 in the prime sieve and 15,359 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 35% below in integer math, 34% below in floating-point math, 33% below in compression, 33% below in cryptography, 3% above in physics simulation, 33% below in vector SIMD, 10% below in the prime sieve and 32% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i3-12100E has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.20 GHz and boosts up to 4.20 GHz.
