New hybrid architecture for optimal performance

With the Alder Lake processors, Intel has launched a small revolution in the world of x86 architecture by adopting a hybrid technology based on two different types of cores assembled within the same chip: Performance-Cores and Efficient-Cores. With more cores and more power, 12th generation Intel processors are ready for next-generation gaming, PCI-Express 5.0 graphics cards and DDR5 RAM.

I9 12900K CORES AT WORK

Intel's new high-performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into one processor for a smoother gaming experience. Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads by determining which core is best suited for each task. Performance cores are designed for unique, low-thread count workloads, enhancing activities such as video gaming or productivity tasks. Efficiency cores are optimised for multi-threading by reducing interruptions from secondary tasks.

REACH NEW HEIGHTS

With high frequencies, achieve high performance in games. Confidently take on your opponents or explore new worlds with a revolutionary processor architecture that focuses on what matters. Intel 12th generation processors are simply designed for the next generation of gaming.I9 12900K

Intels 12th generation CPUs mark a shift in the companys approach to processor design. It describes Alder Lake as a hybrid architecture with Alder new chips featuring a combination of P-cores and E-cores rather than the standard homogenous core layout were accustomed to with previous generations.

P-cores
Short for performance cores, are designed for tasks such as gaming and productivity workloads and are the closest thing to the standard core model.

E-cores
Short for efficient cores, handle background tasks while running at a lower clock speed with lower power consumption.

The new chips will be the first to support DDR5 RAM and PCIe 5 which should make them perfect partners for the best gaming RAM and best SSDs of the future.

12th Gen Intel® Core i9-12900K unlocked desktop processor.
Featuring Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5.0 & 4.0 support, DDR5 and DDR4 support, unlocked 12th Gen Intel® Core desktop processors are optimized for enthusiast gamers and serious creators and help deliver high performance overclocking for an added boost.
