  • L3 Cache 30 MB + L2 Cache 14 MB
  • IGP : None
  • Memory controller: DDR4 / DDR5
  • PCI-E 5.0 compatible
  • TDP: 60W
  • 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.

    You're a bunch of losers, or scammers, depending on your point of view.
    You indicate that the items are in stock but you only dispatch them 2 to 3 days later.
    So you didn't have them in stock.
    Impossible to cancel the order before it's dispatched. This too is borderline ....
    As a result, the items arrive when they are no longer needed.
    Shitty sales technique. You caught me for a sale, that's good, I'll never order from you again.
    LDLC to flee.

    Powerful

    I often work with RAW photos and this processor is excellent. Fast and efficient. It's also great for video games, but you need to choose a good cooling system.

    Excellent!

    Very good processor coupled with a 3080, with a slight preference for the Ryzen 9 when it comes to multitasking, but when it comes to gaming I'm sticking with Intel!
