New Hybrid Architecture for Optimal Performance
With Alder Lake processors, Intel has introduced a revolution in x86 architecture by adopting a hybrid technology that combines two different core types within the same chip: Performance-Cores and Efficient-Cores. With more cores and greater power, 12th generation Intel processors are built for next-generation gaming, PCI-Express 5.0 graphics cards, and DDR5 RAM.

Cores at Work
Intel's high-performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into one processor for a smoother gaming experience. Intel Thread Director manages workloads by determining which core is best suited for each task. Performance cores are designed for low-thread count workloads, optimizing activities like video gaming or productivity tasks. Efficiency cores are optimized for multi-threading by reducing interruptions from secondary tasks.
