### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best cpu without hurting the bank

Easily one of Intels best budget cpu of its time whilst not being on the toasty side. Can easily achieve excellent performance in many titles. Can run lots of games in high to medium graphics whilst offering smooth performance

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good budget value processor
*by M***. on 29 December 2024*

Originally I had planned on buying an amd 5600 during the sales but I left it a day too late and all the amd alternatives had shot up in price. After some research I settled on getting this 12100f as integrated graphics were not something I desperately needed. At the price this is one of the cheaper processors you can get for a budget build and I purchased it for exactly that reason, as part of a budget build for my nephews Christmas. At the price the clock speed leaves very little to be desired and the included fan is surprisingly quiet when installed.
