SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE

The 12th generation Intel Core processors are a small revolution in the world of x86 architectures, they are the first to integrate a hybrid architecture. This process consists of combining two different types of cores on the same chip. The first 1, called Percormance-Cores, are dedicated to performance in resource-demanding single-threaded games and applications. The second, called Efficient-Cores, are particularly effective for multitasking and the processing of ancillary tasks. The 2 combined are spectacular performance and incredible responsiveness for your system.
