The 12th generation of Intel processors provides gamers with an ideal setup for streaming or media production, boasting industry-first PCIe 5.0 compatibility and notable DDR5 memory advancements. With speeds up to 4800 MT/s, DDR5 advancements also prove to be beneficial to memory bandwidth, as it too sees an increase in speed. The processor also features an integrated UHD Graphics 770 chip with 8K HDR support and the ability to view four simultaneous 4K displays. Using Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.0 (GNA) technology, noise suppression and background blurring are achieved more efficiently and effectively. A standout feature of this processor is the 12 cores unlocked for overclocking, which share 25MB of the L3 cache. The highest clock speed available for these processors is 5.0 GHz, while the base model sits at 3.6 GHz. Managed by the Intel Thread Director, the cores support the operating system to more intelligently channel workloads to the right core at the right time.
