Cores at work

Intel's new high-performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into one processor for a smoother gaming experience. Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads by determining which core is best suited for each task. Performance cores are designed for unique, low-thread count workloads, enhancing activities such as video gaming or productivity tasks. Efficiency cores are optimised for multi-threading by reducing interruptions from secondary tasks.

Reach new heights

With high frequencies, achieve high performance in games. Confidently take on your opponents or explore new worlds with a revolutionary processor architecture that focuses on what matters. Intel 12th generation processors are simply designed for the next generation of gaming.

    an ultra-versatile processor

    I bought this processor for a low-budget but high-performance configuration. Coupled with an rx7600, the duo runs all the games of the moment in 1080p, at over 60fps for demanding games, fps like war zone or others run at around 130fps, and competitive games at over 240fps. I've had no problems with this processor slowing down, either in games or when multitasking, and it doesn't heat up excessively, bearing in mind that I cool it with a Thermalright assassin X 120 ventirad. Very happy with my purchase!
