Take the next evolutionary leap with the performance hybrid architecture of 12th Generation Intel® Core™ processors. Get the performance you need, where you need it, whether you’re a gamer, creator, streamer, or everyday user. Whatever you’re into, do more of it, whenever you want with Intel® 12 Generation processors. With unprecedented new performance hybrid architecture, 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors offer a unique combination of Performance and Efficient-cores (P-core and E-core). That means real-world performance, intuitively scaled to match whatever you’re doing.

The Performance-core is Intel’s highest-performing CPU core ever. And it’s designed to maximize single-thread performance and responsiveness for compute-intensive workloads like gaming and 3D design. The Efficient-core delivers multithreaded performance for tasks that can run in parallel (like image rendering), along with efficient offload of background tasks for modern multitasking.

So that Performance-cores and Efficient-cores can work seamlessly with the operating system, Intel built Intel® Thread Director right into the hardware. Automatically monitoring and analyzing on-the-fly, Intel® Thread Director guides the operating system, helping it place the right thread on the right core, at the right time. And it does it all dynamically, adapting scheduling guidance based on actual computing needs, not on static rules.

12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors also support the next wave of discrete graphics cards and storage devices. These devices take advantage of increased throughput coming with PCIe 5.0 as well the higher speeds and bandwidth of DDR5 memory. With 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, standard, built-in features enable capabilities like noise suppression, auto-framing, and optimization for bandwidth and video resolution while gaming. That saves you time and lets you multitask in ways you’ve only ever dreamed of, until now. From epic gaming to browsing to streaming to creating your next masterpiece, 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors make it all entirely doable.

With an increase in core count, Intel 13th Gen processors continue to utilize Intel’s performance hybrid architecture to optimize your gaming, content creation, and productivity. Leverage industry-first bandwidth of up to 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes and DDR5 memory up to 5600 MT/s. Supercharge your CPU performance with a powerful suite of tuning and overclocking tools. Enjoy your favourite experiences in up to 4 simultaneous 4K@60Hz displays or up to 8K@60Hz HDR Video with dynamic noise suppression. Support for the Intel® 700 series chipsets and backwards compatibility with the Intel® 600 series chipsets allow you to access the features you need for any task. Whether you are working, streaming, gaming, or creating, the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors deliver the next generation of breakthrough performance.

The 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors deliver the next generation of breakthrough core performance. Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 further strengthens lightly threaded performance by identifying the best-performing Performance-cores. Meanwhile, additional E-cores enable an increase in Intel® Smart Cache (L3) for more efficient processing of larger data sets and better performance. The P-core and E-core L2 cache has also increased compared to the previous generation of Intel® processors, minimizing the amount of time spent swapping data between cache and memory to speed up your workflow. Unleash the power of next-level performance with the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processor advantage.

The 14th Generation Intel® Core™ processors offer a performance hybrid architecture, allowing for the next evolutionary leap. Get the performance you need, right where you need it, whether you’re a gamer, creator, streamer, or regular user. With Intel® 14-generation processors, you can do more of what you enjoy, whenever you want. The 14th generation Intel® Core™ processors feature a hybrid architecture that combines performance and efficiency (P-core and E-core). That translates to real-world performance, intuitively scaled to match your work.

The performance core is Intel’s most powerful CPU core ever. It’s also optimised for single-thread performance and responsiveness in compute-intensive workloads such as gaming and 3D design. The efficient core provides multithreaded performance for tasks that can run concurrently (such as image rendering), as well as efficient offloading of background tasks for modern multitasking.

Intel built Intel® Thread Director directly into the hardware to ensure that Performance and Efficient cores work seamlessly with the operating system. Intel® Thread Director guides the operating system by automatically monitoring and analysing on the fly, ensuring that the right thread is placed on the right core at the right time. And it does it all dynamically, adapting scheduling guidance to actual computing needs rather than static rules.

The 14th Gen Intel® Core™ processors support the next generation of discrete graphics cards and storage devices. These devices take advantage of the increased throughput provided by PCIe 5.0, as well as the faster speeds and bandwidth of DDR5 memory. 14th Gen Intel® Core™ processors include built-in features for noise suppression, auto-framing, and optimised bandwidth and video resolution for gaming. This saves you time and allows you to multitask in ways you couldn’t have imagined before. 14th Gen Intel® Core™ processors enable various tasks, including gaming, browsing, streaming, and creating masterpieces.
