Core i3-12100 Benchmark Results — All GPU Pairings Tested

Core i3-12100 has been stress-tested in 13 distinct GPU pairings from 92 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 62.7/100 (grade C). The strongest measured pairing is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at 75/100; the weakest is Intel(R) UHD Graphics 730 at 59/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 0.5% with thermal health around 91/100.

What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.

Citable facts about Core i3-12100

  • Core i3-12100 has been measured in 13 distinct GPU pairings on UserBenchmark.org, totaling 92 verified browser stress-test samples.
  • Sample-weighted median Sustained Health Score across all Core i3-12100 configurations: 62.7/100 (grade C). This score measures performance retention under sustained load, not peak throughput.
  • Best measured pairing (min 5 samples): Core i3-12100 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at 75/100 from 5 samples.
  • Weakest measured pairing (min 5 samples): Core i3-12100 + Intel(R) UHD Graphics 730 at 59/100 from 24 samples — low scores typically indicate thermal throttling or power-limited systems, not a slow chip.
  • Typical sustained-load CPU performance decay: 0.5%. Average thermal health: 91/100. Path-tracing stability: 87/100.
  • Per-pairing scores are medians (outlier-resistant); pairings are labeled High (15+ samples), Moderate (5-14) or Low (<5) confidence.
  • Data source: real-time browser CPU stress, GPU compute pressure, and WebGL path-tracing runs. License: CC BY 4.0 with attribution to UserBenchmark.org.
