Hybrid Core Design

Performance-cores provide the speed to handle high-end games and demanding applications while low-priority and background tasks such as streaming video, playing music, and encoding media are handled by the processor’s Efficient-cores.

Intel Thread Director

The Intel Thread Director is built into the CPU’s cores, working with the operating system to ensure each of the 20 threads are assigned to the right core at the right time.

AI Ready

An integrated NPU can handle up to 13 trillion operations per second (TOPs), providing accelerated performance for AI applications and features.

PCIe 4.0 & PCIe 5.0

This processor supports PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 technologies, providing a combined total of 24 lanes for exceptional data throughput with compatible devices.

Thermal Velocity Boost

Intel Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) is a technology that unlocks extra CPU performance by pushing the maximum frequency to 5.5 GHz when thermal headroom and turbo power budget are available. It is ideal for burst workloads that have sudden spikes in CPU utilization, providing a temporary performance boost to help avoid slowdowns.

Gaussian & Neural Accelerator

Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.5 (GNA) technology helps with noise suppression while enhancing background blurring during video chats.

Intel Deep Learning Boost

Accelerates AI inference to improve performance for deep learning workloads.
