I3 12100 uses DDR4 memory with speeds up to 2133 MHz.
Your i3 12100 can only handle DDR4 RAM up to 3200MHz. That means you can’t overclock it beyond that speed, and you won’t get better performance from RAM that runs faster than the supported limit.
This means the maximum frequency is 3200mhz. Compared to previous models, you can't boost the northbridge memory controller beyond that speed, which is a limitation. Nonetheless, reaching 3200mhz is still a solid performance.
Appreciate the clarification! It sounds like Linus often gives mixed feedback, sometimes suggesting speed while other times emphasizing quality.
Thank you for your feedback. I believe the audience isn't required to be aware six months from now.
Maybe someone else needs an i3 12100f, in addition to me fixing your point
