Spectacular performance

The 12th generation Intel Core processors are a small revolution in the world of x86 architectures, as 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.

    No XMP possible!

    This card, which is very good on many aspects, does not work with XMP profiles, which is for me totally prohibitive.
    I installed 6000 MHz DDR5 and it was impossible to use the RAM by activating the XMP, the card did not start and it was necessary to reboot several times to return in the bios and when I managed to launch Windows 11 it was not stable and at the reboot the bios replanted again...
    It seems that this is a recurring problem on this brand from what I have read in some forums and a friend of mine confirmed that he had the same problem on the same brand.
    To conclude if you want to take this card I think it will be very good if you install DDR5 at 4800MHz, base frequency accepted natively by the processor without XMP profile.
