Feature | Benefit |
| Performance-core (P-core) | The highest-performing CPU core ever built by Intel, designed to handle single-threaded, lightly threaded, or burst workloads like 4K gaming and 3D design. |
| Efficient-core (E-core) | Designed to handle multi-threaded and background tasks such as minimized browser tabs, IT services, and cloud syncing, leaving P-cores free to deliver incredible performance without interruption. |
| Performance Hybrid Architecture1 | Integrates two core microarchitectures into a single die, prioritizing and distributing workloads to optimize performance. |
| Intel® Thread Director2 | Optimizes workloads by helping the OS scheduler intelligently distribute workloads to the optimal cores. |
| PCIe 5.02 up to 16 Lanes | Offers readiness for up to 32 GT/s for fast access to discrete graphics, storage, and peripheral devices with up to 16 PCI Express 5.0 lanes. |
| PCIe 4.0 up to 4 Lanes | Offers up to 16 GT/s for fast access to storage and peripheral devices with up to 4 PCI Express 4.0 lanes. |
| Up to DDR5 5600 MT/s10 | Delivers the latest, industry-leading innovation in memory capabilities for fast speeds, high bandwidth, and enhanced workflow productivity. |
| Up to DDR4 3200 MT/s | Continued support of existing memory technology and speeds. |
| L3 and L2 Cache | Increased shared Intel® Smart Cache (L3) and L2 cache sizes allow users to work faster, with larger datasets. |
| Intel® Deep Learning Boost | Accelerates AI inference to improve performance for deep learning workloads. |
| Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.0 (GNA 3.0) | Processes AI speech and audio applications such as neural noise cancellation while simultaneously freeing up CPU resources for overall system performance and responsiveness. |
| Intel® Adaptive Boost Technology3, 4 | Intel® ABT improves performance by opportunistically allowing higher multi-core turbo frequencies, while operating within system power and temperature specifications when current, power, and thermal headroom exists. |
| Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost3, 4 | Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost opportunistically and automatically increases clock frequency of select 13th Gen Intel® Core desktop processors by up to 100 MHz if the processor is at a temperature of 70°C or lower and turbo power budget is available. |
| Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 | Identifies the processor’s fastest cores and directs critical workloads to them. |
| Intel® UHD Graphics driven by Xe Architecture7 | Rich media and intelligent graphics capabilities enable amplified visual complexity, enhanced 3D performance, and faster image processing. |
| Overclocking5 Features and Capabilities | When paired with the Intel® Z790 or Z690 chipset, processor P-cores, E-cores, graphics, and memory can be set to run at frequencies above the processor specification resulting in higher performance. |
