Unlocked and overclockable(2)
Divide and conquer.
Intel’s new performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into a single CPU, keeping everything in your gaming universe running smoothly.
Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads, sending tasks to the best core for the job.(4)
P-cores are built for performance across single and lightly-threaded workloads, enhancing activities like gaming and productivity.
E-cores are optimized for multi-threaded performance, minimizing interruptions from secondary tasks.
Performance beyond the cores.
The new processor architecture is also compatible with the latest platform innovations, giving you performance improvements throughout your PC.
Support for PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 for high-performance components like memory and graphics.
Thunderbolt 4 and Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+) deliver fast transfer speeds and connections to peripherals.(5)
Separate overclocking controls for both types of cores gives you nuanced personalization.
