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, 12th generation Intel processors are ready for next-generation gaming, PCI-Express 5.0 graphics cards and DDR5 RAM.

  • 16-Core / 24-Thread Processor
  • 8 Performance-Cores (2.4 GHz - 5.1 GHz) + 8 Efficient-Cores (1.8 GHz - 3.8 GHz)
  • L3 Cache 30 MB + L2 Cache 14 MB
  • IGP: Intel UHD Graphics 770
  • Memory controller: DDR4 / DDR5
  • PCI-E 5.0 compatible
  • TDP: 65W
  • Max. TDP (Turbo Power): 202W
  • Intel Laminar RH1 fan included

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.
