Exactly the Performance I Expected Alder Lake CPU's are great. I already built a system with a i5-12600K and this is my second build with a 12th gen CPU. The i3-12100F is a great value for the price and performance. It shipped quickly, but UPS delivered a week past the original scheduled delivery date!
