We know how fun it can be to upgrade your computer from time to time but if done too often it can be a pain on our finances. As gamers, we are always on the lookout for the best way to spend their hard-earned money and one of the best ways to do it is by future-proofing our machines. And that’s where the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor comes in.

Packed with all the latest features and support for next-generation technology, the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor is a great way to make sure your gaming desktop stays relevant in the coming years. What’s new with the latest generation of Intel® Core™, you ask?

A new hybrid performance architecture combining P-cores and E-cores. This means that the workload on your PC will be split - heavy-duty tasks like gaming to your P-cores and background apps/processes to the E-cores. You’ll be able to run your intensive games without any slowdowns while having multiple apps in the background at the same time (i.e. Discord or Windows Defender).

The best part is, the processor does all this right out of the box - thanks to Intel® Thread Director and Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0. The former predicts and distributes workloads to the different cores dynamically, while the latter recognizes when your computer needs a boost and directs the most critical workloads to your fastest P-cores.

12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor supports PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 RAM. While both of these technologies are relatively new in the market, you can expect them to eventually become the standard for high-performance GPUs and memory of the future. If you’re not willing to commit to next-gen tech yet, the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor will still work with PCIe 4.0 and DDR4 RAM - with the bonus of being ready when the time comes to change.

With Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6E, you can easily get connected wirelessly at high speeds, and Thunderbolt™ 4 support will allow you to connect to all your favourite peripherals as well as multiple 4K displays (who doesn’t have at least two monitors these days?).

If you need a processor that runs the latest games and can stand the test of time, the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor might be the one for you. Find out more on Intel's official website.
