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.

    Very good value for money

    I chose this Intel processor because
    - the latest chipset for a particular PC (FCLGA1700)
    - its price
    - its performance (stable boost to 4.7 GHz)
    - supports DDR5

    Perfect

    What more can I say, it's an Intel, that's all there is to it... works like a charm and doesn't heat up excessively, even when playing demanding games.

    To take

    Top value for money, it will run anything from 720p to 2k without a hitch
    combined with 16g of ram and a 3080, it runs like a charm
    I'm very happy with it
