It will allow the assembly of a powerful and versatile configuration capable of performing all tasks. Gaming, streaming, intensive multitasking, multimedia creation, it is the ideal solution to design a high-end PC with high performance. It also supports DDR5 RAM, PCI-Express 5.0 16x graphics cards, SATA 6 Gb/s and M.2 PCIe 4. 0 drives, and USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 devices . With MSI's quality manufacturing and a host of proprietary utilities, it represents a long-term investment.
The 12th generation Intel Core processors are a small revolution in the world of x86 architectures, they are the first to integrate a hybrid architecture. This process consists of combining two different types of cores on the same chip. The first 1, called Percormance-Cores, are dedicated to performance in games and mono-threaded applications requiring resources. The second type, called Efficient-Cores, are particularly efficient for multitasking and side task processing. Together, the two provide spectacular performance and incredible responsiveness for your system.
