Overview
New hybrid architecture for optimal performance
With the Alder Lake processors, Intel has launched a small revolution in the world of x86 architecture by adopting a hybrid technology based on two different types of cores assembled within the same chip: Performance-Cores and Efficient-Cores. With more cores and more power, Intel's 12th generation processors are ready for next-generation gaming, PCI-Express 5.0 graphics cards and DDR5 RAM.

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.
