i3-12100

The i3-12100 has more cores. The benefit of having more cores is that the system can handle more threads. Each core can handle a separate stream of data. This architecture greatly increases the performance of a system that is running concurrent applications.
The i3-12100 has more threads. Larger programs are divided into threads (small sections) so that the processor can execute them simultaneously to get faster execution.
The i3-12100 is more power efficient and generates less heat.
The i3-12100 has a smaller process size. The faster a transistor can toggle on and off, the faster it can do work. And transistors that turn on and off with less energy are more efficient, reducing the operating power, or “dynamic power consumption,” required by a processor.

Athlon II X3 455

The Athlon II X3 455 has higher Level 2 Cache. Data/instructions which have to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR RAM
