Intel showcased the 12th Gen family of processors at the 12th Gen Intel Core Experience event. The latest processors redefine multi-core architecture for PCs with an all-new performance hybrid architecture. The experiential event showcased the latest suite of cutting-edge desktops and laptops powered by Intel’s latest family of processors, and enthusiasts experienced unprecedented performance like never before.

Built on the Intel 7 process, the 12th Gen Intel Core processors feature a new architecture design breakthrough that brings together two types of specialised cores to deliver class-leading performance and responsiveness. The latest platform also integrates technologies, like DDR5 memory support, Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and Intel Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+), to elevate user experience even further.

All-new performance hybrid architecture: Intel’s performance hybrid architecture is its most significant shift in x86 architecture in more than a decade, re-envisioned to provide the performance to match the way people use their PCs today. The new performance hybrid architecture brings a combination of performance cores and efficiency cores to deliver ultimate performance. These performance cores are the highest performing CPU core Intel has ever built, for maximum burst and single-threaded performance. The Efficient-cores are designed for scalable performance-per-watt, for multi-threaded and multi-tasking performance. Intel 12th Gen family of processors scales from U series to P series to H/HX series for notebook platform and going up to S series for desktops.

The new cores include the Intel Thread Director, one of the most significant and exciting innovations in the new performance hybrid architecture. Built on top of Intel’s performance monitoring unit, it provides the best hardware telemetry in the industry according to Intel. Traditionally, the OS would have made decisions based on limited stats that are available aligned to foreground/background workload or task characterization, but Intel Thread Director adds a new dimension with this HW telemetry so threads with higher performance requirements end up on the cores that provide the performance, Performance-cores or P-cores.

The 12th Gen Intel Core HX Series processors are Intel’s latest versatile portfolio of mobile products that bring breakthrough power performance.
