Gaming Performance: 1080p - The Intel Core i3-12300 Review: Quad-Core Alder Lake Shines

Publish date: 2024-10-04

Gaming Performance: 1080p

While a quad core processor is not going to be the first choice for gaming these days (especially when consoles have had 8 cores for the past two generations), 4 Golden Cove P cores still put up enough of a fight that the CPU is never too much of a limiting factor. Here we never drop below a 60fps average on any game.

All of our game testing results, including other resolutions, can be found in our benchmark database: www.anandtech.com/bench. All gaming tests were with an RTX 2080 Ti.
