1. 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.
2. Built into the hardware, Intel® Thread Director is provided only in performance hybrid architecture configurations of 12th Gen or newer Intel® Core™ processors; OS enablement is required. Available features and functionality vary by OS.
3. Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, and Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost are only available on Performance-cores.
4. Intel® Core™ i9 desktop processors (14th gen) only.
5. Unlocked features are present with select chipsets and processor combinations. Altering clock frequency or voltage may void any product warranties and reduce stability, security, performance, and life of the processor and other components. Check with system and component manufacturers for details.
6. Intel® Dynamic Memory Boost enablement capability requires BIOS selection of the feature, a compatible Intel® Core™ desktop processor, a compatible motherboard with BIOS support for the feature, and XMP certified DDR4 or DDR5 main system memory.
7. Available only on Intel® Core™ processors (14th gen) featuring integrated graphics.
8. Check motherboard vendor for compatible BIOS.
9. CPU PCIe lanes are only validated for discrete graphics (x16) and PCIe storage.
10. On select processor SKUs. DDR5-5600 MT/s 1DPC UDIMM 1Rx8, 1Rx16 (lead supplier) and DDR5-5200 1Rx8, 1Rx16, 2Rx8 are POR on all Intel® Core™ i9 desktop processor SKUs, all Intel® Core™ i7 desktop processor SKUs, and select Intel® Core™ i5 desktop processor SKUs (14th gen).
