Intel Core i3-2120 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor
Cons:- Discrete graphics card is required for any decent gaming- No overclocking ability
Pros:- Processing Power-to-Cost ratio- Good enough for the majority of users out there Comment:
I bought this for a friend's budget build.He was looking for a non-gaming, focusing on school/MS Office, occasional web-surfing/video watching, and e-mail environment.Does that profile sound like you or someone you're looking to buy for???If so, the 2120 is all you'll really need. It has more than enough processing power to handle any generic task passed its way.Friend loves his new computer. The stock Intel fan that comes with it is quiet enough for him. Heat should not be a concern because he won't be overclocking the CPU (because they're inherently not overclock-able). |

Intel Core i3-2120 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor
Cons:Not viable for overclocking
Pros:FastHyper-threadingEfficientBuilt in intel 2000 graphicsDecent factory cooler Comment:
Wow, I got this CPU as a 'cheap' processor for my home server build and it utterly destroys my 3yr old Desktops Core Duo. This cpu is very energy efficient, especially if the built in graphics aren't used. The hyper-threading makes it a great option for a cheap home server build. The factory cooler looks decent, lots of fins, very basic, but I opted for a larger quieter cooler because my home server will be running 24/7. Overall, this is a great performer even for what could be considered a 'budget' CPU. |

Intel Core i3-2120 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor
Cons:still only dual core in a quad core focused market
Pros:very fast cpu, stock heat sink is very quiet good price point. Comment:
basically this cpu is faster then anything else that's not another sandy bridge. this cpu has a windows index score of 7.1, honestly this is a great cpu for anyone who's sick of AMD but doesn't want to spend the 250$ for an i5. Overall great buy could not be happier |

Intel Core i3-2120 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor
Cons:-Not quad but hyperthreading technology will be soon the norm of every processors on the market
Pros:-Best bang for buck in gaming-Handles everything well even if it is a dual core Comment:
I'm glad to have bought this amzing cpu for the price in combo with a mobo + 4gb ddr3 1333 of mushkin. Put an radeon hd 6850 and you get something that everything most of the games out there. Don't listen to amd's fanboy that try to convince you buy their x4 phenom... wait for bulldozer if you want to really have an upgrade in compare to the phenom series. |

Intel Core i3-2120 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor
Cons:3MB Cache... (not really completely a con, but the G620 and G850 have 3MB cache - this could have 4MB for good measure)
Pros:Runs coolFast little CPU4 Threads, ohh yeahh! Comment:
Fast little CPU for the coin. Sandy Bridge is the top of the line these days, and this entry i3 performs really well for a basic gaming machine. Even the Graphics are decent for basic 3d gaming without the need for a separate video card! Would use again in a basic build. |

Intel Core i3-2120 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor
Cons:Can't overclock.Not worth the normal cost over the 2100. (I got mine on sale for $130, $5 more than 2100)
Pros:Fast, cool, uses little power. The perfect processor for 90% of people. Comment:
This is a great processor. I don't recommend buying any i3 over the 2100/2120. Don't bother with the 2100T. It takes a severe performance hit for not much energy saved. |
For an entry level processor this is good value at slightly over $100 on sale. Nice speed, runs cool, features hyperthreading. Graphics are not bad, but it is not meant for an avid gamer. Great choice for a budget system with balanced, better than average performance.
