Great little CPU on sale! Entry gaming for cheap!
Pretty much the same as the 12100f, usually within 5%. Best buy had the best deal online, good bit cheaper than the 12100f when I picked it up! built it into a little ASRock deskmeet tiny gaming system. Runs hot, but still boosts decently well considering it's choked. Runs well with an RX 6650XT, does bottleneck it a bit a 1080p, but knew what I was getting into and didn't want any more CPU heat!
