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
Prioritises and manages
workloads, sending tasks to
the best core for the job.3
8Performance-cores
P-cores are built for
performance across single
and lightly-threaded
workloads, enhancing
activities like gaming and
productivity.
8Efficient-cores
E-cores are optimised for
multi-threaded performance,
minimising 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.
Ready for what�s next
Support for PCIe Gen 5 and
DDR5 for high-performance
components like memory and
graphics.
Best-in-class
connectivity
Thunderbolt� 4 and Intel�
Killer� Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+)
deliver fast transfer speeds
and connections to
peripherals.4
Push past the limit with
overclocking.
Increase processing power by
fine-tuning your system to run your
processor at higher settings2to
improve frame rates and achieve
smoother gameplay. Separate
overclocking controls for both types
of cores gives you nuanced
personalisation.

2. Unlocked features are present
with select chipsets and processor
combinations. Altering clock
frequency or voltage may void any
product warranties and reduce
stability, security, performance,
and life of the processor and other
components. Check with system and
component manufacturers for details.
