Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i3-12300, based on the Alder Lake S architecture, is a solid choice for desktop systems. Manufactured in 10 nm, this processor demonstrates appealing energy efficiency. We consider it a highly capable chip for all your everyday challenges. Its performance in office applications and media consumption is remarkable.

A major advantage is the integrated support for PCIe 5.0. This enables high bandwidth for new graphics cards and fast SSD solutions. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730 proves to be ideal. It is perfect for systems without a separate graphics card. This graphics provides sufficient performance for basic visual requirements.

You can easily watch videos and surf the internet. Even light image editing is smoothly possible with this unit. With 5 MB L2 cache and 12 MB L3 cache, there is enough buffer memory available. This contributes to smooth processes in typical applications. The Intel Core i3-12300 remains a smart option for price-conscious users who still do not want to forego current technology.
