Product and Performance Information
Performance hybrid architecture combines two core microarchitectures, Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores), on a single processor die first introduced on 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. Select 12th Gen and newer Intel® Core™ processors do not have performance hybrid architecture, only P-cores or E-cores, and may have the same cache size. See ark.intel.com for SKU details, including cache size and core frequency.
Built into the hardware, Intel® Thread Director is provided only in performance hybrid architecture configurations of newer Intel® Core™ Ultra processors; OS enablement is required. Available features and functionality vary by OS.
Based on enhanced overclocking ability enabled by Intel's comprehensive tools and unique architectural tuning capabilities. Your results may vary. Overclocking may void warranty or affect system health. For details see intel.com/overclocking.
